Customer Case Study: Backup Alarm with Custom Pigtail

Customer Challenge:

In this case study, our customer required a backup alarm as part of their vehicle design but needed a customised connection solution to suit their specific installation requirements.

Chief Solution:

After a detailed consultation, Chief sourced a high-quality reversing alarm from our long-time partner Seger A.S., and designed a custom pigtail fitted with an Amphenol Sine connector to meet the customer’s unique specification.

Thanks to our established relationships with both vendors, we were able to:

• Secure competitive pricing on all subcomponents
• Minimise lead times through in-house stockholding
• Streamline development with cloud-based CAD collaboration

Final assembly was completed at our facility in Elmhurst, Illinois, located just outside of Chicago—ensuring a rapid turnaround from concept to completion.

That’s what we call the Chief advantage.

The Chief Advantage:

1. Strong vendor partnerships enable faster delivery and better pricing
2. Cloud-based CAD platforms allow for real-time engineering collaboration
3. Assembly operations in Elmhurst, IL support quick lead times for custom projects
