Volex Works With Huawei to Supply Cable Assemblies to Customers in South Pacific and Indian Markets

Cable Assemblies Group Provides Flexible Delivery and Short Lead Times in India and Indonesia as Part of Ongoing Global Partnership

LONDON, March 16, 2011 - Volex Group plc (www.volex.com), the preferred global partner for
customised electrical and optical interconnect solutions, has been selected
by telecoms solutions provider Huawei as a local cable assemblies supplier
for both Huawei India and Huawei Indonesia. These contracts see Volex provide
cable assemblies to the Indian telecoms market via its Chennai manufacturing
facility, and also delivering products through its two Indonesian factories
for Huawei's telecoms customers in its South Pacific region.

With its burgeoning telecoms market serving a population of over 1.1
billion across a large land mass, India presents a significant opportunity to
both Volex and Huawei. The import regulations in place in India made it vital
for Huawei to partner with a supplier which has local manufacturing expertise
coupled with regional knowledge. With a successful working relationship
already in place, Volex presented the ideal opportunity through its facility
in Chennai to help Huawei meet the needs of its Indian customers.

Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, also
resulting in a significant market opportunity for Volex. Huawei required a
supplier that adhered to its stringent quality requirements, and with
factories in Batam and Jakarta, Volex was well placed to provide Huawei with
a flexible and timely supply of high-quality cable assemblies. Huawei's
Indonesia centre also covers 30 other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Commenting on the new relationships, Conway Hui, Global VP, Telecoms and
Datacoms at Volex, states, "Volex continues to demonstrate its strong
relationship with Huawei as its global cable assembly vendor of choice.
Volex's manufacturing capabilities are well suited to support the needs of
Huawei's customers in these significant markets. Huawei plans to have its
Indonesia operation become the major logistics centre for the South Pacific
region, in much the same way as Huawei's Hungary Logistic Centre is for
Europe, Russia and North Africa. Having commenced supply to Huawei Europe
last year, we are delighted to secure this business to work with Huawei in
this region, and our Batam and Jakarta factories are ideally located to meet
Huawei's short lead times."

Hui continues, "Volex is also in an ideal position with our Chennai
facility to assist in Huawei's plans to capitalise on the growing Indian
telecoms market. And this agreement includes the supply of fibre optic
solutions, further extending the product portfolio we are supplying to
Huawei."

Volex will supply Huawei Indonesia and Huawei India with subscriber,
trunk, and power cable assemblies from its regional factories, and high speed
fibre optic cable assemblies will also be supplied from the factory in India.

Hui adds, "Volex's global credentials continue to stand it in good stead
with Huawei, demonstrating the company's capability to support the telecom
solutions vendor across many regions. Huawei requires consistently high
quality products across all its operations and Volex provides a high level of
service together with competitive pricing."

Ray Walsh, CEO at Volex Group, comments, "These additional partnerships
with Huawei in India and Indonesia are further evidence of Volex's focus on
the telecoms arena and the continued trust shown by one of our most important
customers. This contract win will support the Company's ongoing revenue
growth. Huawei trusts in our product-design expertise, our manufacturing
know-how, and our flexible global supply footprint."
