Engineering smarter, faster, and more accurate solutions for tomorrow’s products.
St. Louis, MO, May 14, 2025 – Electrical Components International (ECI) is pleased to announce our partnership with Cableteque, a technology leader in harness design automation, to transform how quoting and product development are executed across the industry. This collaboration marks a major step toward achieving end-to-end digital continuity in wire harness manufacturing, helping customers bring products to market faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
“As product development cycles continue to accelerate, the need for faster quoting and launch timing has become increasingly critical,” said Mark Sember, VP and Global Head, Electrification and Advanced Technology. “This partnership with Cableteque reinforces our commitment to engineering excellence by integrating intelligent automation that delivers measurable value to our customers.”
By embedding Cableteque’s advanced tool suite into ECI’s quoting and engineering workflows, teams can now automatically generate harness Bills of Material (BoMs) directly from customer design data, eliminating the need for static drawings and manual input. This leap in capability provides:
- Up to 50% reduction in quote turnaround time
- Faster new product introduction (NPI)
- Improved accuracy and repeatability in design and quoting
This integration is part of a broader ECI strategy to automate harness production from design through delivery. By standardizing front-end inputs, the partnership lays the groundwork for seamless digital workflows that improve lead times, reduce costs, and elevate quality.
“This is a transformation in how we collaborate with customers,” added Kevin Schwanz, Chief Technology Officer. “Together, we’re unlocking new levels of responsiveness and transparency that align with the pace of today’s innovation.”
