Just as the value of silver has been climbing, Avnet
Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE:AVT),
has seen the shine in its silver anniversary with Panasonic. In 1988,
Avnet entered an agreement with Panasonic to distribute its electronics
components in the Americas, and the relationship is still going strong
25 years later.

Initially, Avnet began distributing products from Panasonic’s large
portfolio of standard and custom electronics components, including:
capacitors, resistors, inductors and filters, circuit protection,
electromechanical, relays, sensors, connectors, semiconductors and RF
modules. Over the years, Avnet began integrating the components into
state-of-the-art development kits to help designers integrate new
technologies like Bluetooth, RF, and power modules into their
applications.
“Over the past 25 years, Avnet and Panasonic have enabled designers to
create thousands of electronics products,” said Ed Smith, president of
Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. “I look forward to seeing that
number grow, as we continue working together over the next quarter
century.”
“Avnet Electronics Marketing and Panasonic together share a commitment
to the design engineer to deliver innovative and reliable components
anytime, anywhere,” said Dan Litts, senior vice president of Panasonic
Industrial Devices Sales Company of America. “This partnership and
commitment moving forward will ensure that designers receive the highest
quality product combined with the best channel support in the industry.”
Panasonic is one of the industry's largest suppliers of standard and
custom electronic components. Its wide product offering, coupled with
global manufacturing and sales capabilities, and a commitment to
customer service, make Panasonic a preferred vendor to the world's most
famous original equipment manufacturers of high-tech electronic products.
