Leader Optec achieves Canare certification.

We are thrilled to announce that after a lot of work and collaboration, we have become certified as Canare's first UK based manufacture, distributor and repair centre for Canare products.

What We Did

Canare approached Leader Optec to become its UK manufacturing partner. This marked the beginning of a journey involving specialist training, process development, and significant investment in tooling and equipment.

As part of this process, Jo (left) and Sandra (right) attended intensive training at Canare's facility in Germany. Following this, we produced multiple sample assemblies for submission to Canare's headquarters, where they underwent a rigorous evaluation process. The successful outcome of this assessment was the certification presented to us by Andy (centre).

Our Plans Moving Forward

As we introduce these new product lines, we are taking a measured approach to ensure they are integrated seamlessly into our existing production processes.

Our initial focus will be on providing repair and support services for existing SMPTE assemblies within the UK market. Once these services are fully established, we will expand our offering to include the manufacture and supply of new assemblies and additional Canare product lines across all sales channels.

What This Means for Canare's UK Customer Base

Our ability to manufacture Canare products to the same exacting standards used by Canare means that UK customers will have access to high-quality, fully certified products with significantly reduced lead times.

In addition, repairs that previously took months can now be completed in a matter of weeks, providing faster support and improved service continuity.

Over time, we plan to build local stock holdings, enabling reliable next-day delivery of standard products throughout the UK.

Celebrate With Us

We are proud to announce our partnership with Canare as its first UK-based manufacturing partner.

This partnership represents an exciting new chapter for Leader Optec, and we are keen to make our customers aware of the capabilities that will soon be available. While we are not yet actively taking orders, we are working diligently towards the launch of production and would be delighted to discuss future requirements with customers planning upcoming projects.

We will continue to share updates as milestones are reached and look forward to commencing production in the near future.

As Business Development Manager for the UK, my first task was to find a Company that would be a SMPTE partner. Immediately I thought of Leader Optec. In my previous role as Operations and Engineering Supervisor at Presteigne Broadcast Hire, I sent all our fibre optic cables to Leader Optec for repair.
I had and have every confidence in their professionalism and attention to detail. The quality of products they produce and service, is unrivalled. We, at Canare, are thrilled to have Leader Optec on board. The future is bright, the future is Leader.
