Distributor garners award for its performance across the Central Europe region
Brussels, Belgium, 10 July, 2019: Avnet Abacus, one of Europe’s
leading interconnect, passive, electro-mechanical and power distributors
and a regional business unit of Avnet (Nasdaq: AVT), today announced
that it has received the award for ‘Best Distributor for the Central
Region 2018’ from Omron, a global leader in electromechanical and
sensing technology.
Omron’s distribution awards are based upon a wide range of criteria
including: sales growth by both value and percentage with respect to the
previous year; number of customer visits performed jointly, including
both Omron and the respective distributor; number of sales quotes and
resulting conversion ratio; increase in market share over the entire
distribution network; new design projects approved by Omron; and
finally, marketing communications activities carried out by distributor.
“Since first engaging with Omron about five years ago, we have
enjoyed increasing success across Europe, and most notably in the
Central Europe region,” said Alan Jermyn, Vice President of Marketing at
Avnet Abacus. “While Omron is world renowned for its portfolio of
relays and switches, we see major opportunities for its growing range of
highly innovative sensor products, especially in fast-growing building
automation and industrial IoT markets and applications.”
“We have been most impressed with Avnet Abacus, and especially their
operations and volume of sales growth generated for Omron technologies
in key European markets such as Germany and the Central Region overall,”
said Hafeez Najumudeen, European Distribution Manager at Omron. “We are
looking forward to a continued and even deeper collaboration on new
opportunities – from initial design to logistical support – during the
coming months and years.”
Avnet Abacus is an authorised Omron distributor throughout Europe
and offers Omron’s
electromechanical PCB relays, micro switches, MOSFET relays, DIP
switches, photomicrosensors and connectors. Omron has a strong portfolio
of innovative technologies including MEMS based pressure, flow and
