Frequently Asked Questions

Why was Cirris’ business purchased by Schleuniger?

Cirris has been an industry friend and technology partner with Schleuniger for over 20 years. Our two companies have always enjoyed a great working relationship in the electrical wire and harness industry. We have shared tradeshow space, advertising, and co-sponsoring of industry events. As Schleuniger contemplated acquisition targets within the industry, Cirris topped their list. Schleuniger approached Cirris and negotiated a deal that benefits both of our companies as well as our customers.

The signing of the transaction agreement that took place on June 30 and the subsequent closing on September 1, 2020 (“closing date”) mark milestones for both companies.


With Cirris’ business now under ownership of a new legal entity (Cirris, Inc.), what about my current quotes, warranties, contracts, and other ongoing commitments?

As previously announced, quotes that were created before the closing date with our Salt Lake City site remain valid after the closing date with the new owner of the business, the newly established Cirris, Inc., for 30 days unless specified otherwise. Check your quote and talk to your salesperson for details. All other contracts are honored for their duration also after the completion date.


Will my Cirris Sales Representative change?

No changes will be made to representation. Because of our friendly history with Schleuniger, Cirris already shares more than 80% of Schleuniger’s distribution network. Customers around the world can communicate with their same sales representatives in Salt Lake City.


Will the closing affect the level of service that I am used to from Cirris?
