Core Product Capabilities
Explosion Proof Capable Power Connectors & Cable Assemblies
Global Intex designs and manufactures heavy-duty power connectors and ruggedized cable assemblies with Ex Proofing options built for environments where abrasion, vibration, and ignition risk are a constant operational reality. Carrying country-specific Ex approvals including IECEx, ATEX, and FM certifications, our connectors are engineered with exotic materials and customized overmolding to deliver reliable power connectivity in underground mining, onshore and offshore gas and oil, and other hazardous location applications.
Wire Harness Systems for Extreme Industrial Applications
From complex multi-conductor harness builds to proprietary OEM configurations, Global Intex engineers and manufactures wire harness systems designed to survive vibration, abrasion, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures in the field. Built around specialized rubber extrusion and customized overmolding processes, these harness systems are purpose-built for deployment in mining equipment, agricultural machinery, marine systems, and heavy industrial platforms.
Wet-Mate & Dry-Mate Submersible Cabling, Power, and Data Transfer Connectors
Global Intex offers both wet-mate and dry-mate submersible cabling solutions engineered for reliable power and signal transmission in shallow and deep-water applications across fresh water and salt water environments. Wet-mate configurations allow safe connection and disconnection while submerged, making them ideal for ROV systems, underwater instrumentation, and subsea infrastructure. Our dry-mate submersible cabling is designed for connections made above the waterline and then deployed, offering robust sealing and long-term performance across a wide range of underwater operating depths and conditions.
Custom & Proprietary Builds for OEMs and Contract Manufacturers
Global Intex welcomes complex, custom connectivity challenges. With a specialized engineering staff and comprehensive in-house manufacturing center based in Mentor, Ohio, our team works directly with OEMs and contract manufacturers to develop proprietary connector and harness builds that meet precise performance, certification, and form-factor requirements. From material selection and tooling through production and quality verification, Global Intex functions as a true manufacturing partner with additional catalog offerings.
Industries Served
Global Intex connectivity solutions are deployed across some of the most demanding industrial and environmental sectors in the world, including underground and surface mining, onshore and offshore gas and oil, marine and marine deep-sea, agricultural equipment, and subsea research and instrumentation. Each of these environments presents unique combinations of mechanical stress, chemical exposure, moisture, pressure, and temperature extremes. Global Intex products are engineered specifically to meet those conditions head-on, not just survive them.
Premier Manufacturer and Supplier
How Global Intex Stands Out
For OEMs and Contract Manufacturers
Global Intex was built on the premise that the harshest environments deserve the best-engineered connectivity, not adapted off-the-shelf components, but solutions designed from the ground up to over-achieve in conditions that would compromise standard products. Years of deep experience in the mining and agricultural sectors gives Global Intex the engineering foundation and field knowledge to expand into some of the world's most technically demanding connectivity applications, from explosion proof underground power delivery to deep-water submersible cabling in corrosive salt water environments.
As a division of The Paquin Company, Global Intex draws on the strategic resources, supplier relationships, and customer reach of a well-established industrial distribution and manufacturing organization while operating with the focused expertise and responsiveness of a specialty manufacturer. That combination means customers get globally certified, precision-built connectivity products with the application support and custom engineering capability to back them up.
