“We are delighted to have extended our strategic partnership with TE,” said Hagen Goetze, Senior Director Marketing at Avnet Abacus. “We are quickly ramping up stock availability of the ERNI portfolio to provide our customers with fast access to these leading-edge products, which offer several key features making them suitable for challenging environments in automation and industrial applications. These include their small size, robustness and high mating reliability, as well as the availability of a wide selection of different variants that offer solutions for special or demanding requirements.”

“Avnet’s leadership in providing our mutual customers with the best product solutions is why TE Connectivity highly values our partnership”, added Onintza Iza Otamendi, Senior Distribution Manager for TE Connectivity’s Industrial Business Unit. “TE Connectivity is eager to work with the entire Avnet team to promote and grow the TE ERNI brand.”
