Astute Group appointed as Winslow Adaptics global distributor

Astute Group has been appointed a global franchised distributor for Winslow Adaptics‘ electronics and interconnect obsolescence solutions.

Under this agreement, Astute Group will leverage its logistics network, deep technical expertise, and on-the-ground distribution in key global hubs to accelerate access to Winslow Adaptics technology.

UK-headquartered Winslow Adaptics, a specialist in electronic and mechanical obsolescence solutions, tackles the serious challenges of rising costs, long lead times, and legacy system maintenance across defence, aerospace, automotive, and other high-reliability sectors. Its comprehensive offering includes custom adapters and interposers, IC footprint conversion, test modules, FPGA migration, and connector reverse engineering, with in-house capabilities to maintain tooling for legacy connectors and ensure backwards compatibility.


“This partnership with Winslow Adaptics brings our customers creative solutions to complex obsolescence challenges,” says Jon Sypula, Semiconductor BDM, Astute Group. “Their flexible engineering approach means we can now offer customers practical alternatives when standard solutions don’t fit – whether that’s custom adapters, legacy component remanufacturing, or ASIC-to-FPGA migration.”

“When parts go obsolete, there’s rarely a simple fix. That’s where our engineering team comes in, solving complex challenges with smart, reliable solutions that keep systems running. Teaming up with Astute means more engineers can access our expertise exactly when they need it,” said Teri-Ann Winslow, CEO, Winslow Adaptics.

Winslow Adaptics’ product portfolio extends across multiple high-reliability market segments. The addition of the obsolescence solutions to Astute’s franchise portfolio enhances the support available to customers facing supply chain disruption or long-term obsolescence issues, further strengthening their position as a provider of engineering solutions for diverse defence, aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.
