Fralock Holdings
Fralock Holdings LLC, an Arsenal Capital Portfolio company, has been awarded a multi-year, multi-million-dollar contract with a leading, U.S.-based aerospace and defense (A&D) company for the design, development, and production of all-polyimide etched foil flexible cables approximately 18m long. Fralock's flat flexible cables are used for power distribution on the back side of the solar array for telecommunication satellites. Fralock's adhesiveless-all-polyimide technology provides the thinnest, full-folding construction available enabling extremely compact stowage of the solar array.
With more than 50 years of product design and process knowledge, Fralock has been the choice for some of the world's largest A&D companies seeking quality products for space-based solar technology in commercial and civil space programs.
"Fralock has developed a process that ensures we meet the stringent requirements and certifications needed for this highly regulated industry," said Marc Haugen, Fralock CEO. "This contract is a testament to the expertise of our engineers and our leadership position in the marketplace, as well as the confidence our customers have in us to develop highly effective technologies."
The cable was fabricated using Fralock's pioneered Adhesiveless Lamination Technology (ALT) that produces flex circuits and etched foil cables with extreme flexibility, durability, and low mass designed to operate in extreme environments.
Headquartered in Valencia, California, Fralock Holdings employs over 660 associates in operations throughout California. Fralock is AS9100, ISO13485, ISO9001, FDA Registered, and ITAR compliant.
