for the fiscal year ending March 31. This is the second time in five
years that Avnet’s superior sales performance has earned it Distributor
of the Year honors from Vishay.
Vishay Intertechnology, a leading manufacturer of passive and discrete
semiconductor products, is one of Avnet’s longest running franchise
relationships. In 2013, the two companies celebrated their milestone 50th
year of doing business together. Vishay signed Avnet as a distributor
just one year after the company was formed in 1962 to bring its patented
Bulk Metal® foil resistors to market. Today the two companies work to
bring Vishay’s state-of-the-art discrete semiconductors,
optoelectronics, integrated modules, and passive components to Avnet’s
broad customer base around the globe.
“Earning the Vishay Distributor of the Year award holds special meaning
for us. It’s a great reflection of the ongoing, and growing, value that
Avnet and Vishay bring to the market,” said Ed Smith, president, Avnet
Electronics Marketing Americas. “At Avnet, we take pride in the role we
play in supporting both the technical and supply chain requirements of
our customers and suppliers. Winning this award for a second time in a
few short years confirms that strength.”
“Vishay is excited to recognize Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas'
semiconductor performance in Y2015,” said Dave Valletta, executive vice
president, sales, Vishay. “Avnet’s dedication to providing excellent
service, consistent business development and ‘available to sell’
