Avnet Abacus<\/a><\/strong>, one of Europe\u2019s leading interconnect, passive, electro-mechanical and power distributors and a regional business unit of Avnet has won TDK\u2019s European Distribution Award in Gold in the international volume distribution category. This marks the second year in a row that Avnet Abacus has been recognised by TDK, one of the world\u2019s largest manufacturers of electronic components, modules, systems and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senten Manten is a Japanese term that stands for the perfect result, or full marks. TDK uses the Senten Manten system to assess distributors on their levels of performance and collaboration with the manufacturer across four categories: business performance; inventory management; contractual terms; and operational excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A maximum of 1000 points are available under the system, and this year across these four categories Avnet Abacus was awarded the top score of 885 points in the international volume distributor category \u2013 an even higher score than in the previous year, showing further improvement of the distributor\u2019s already high levels of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a real honour to win the Gold Award for the second year in a row,\u201d said Alan Jermyn, VP Marketing at Avnet Abacus. \u201cIn addition to achieving substantial year-on-year sales growth across the TDK product range, this award makes it clear that we have outperformed our competition across all elements of our engagement with TDK, based upon award criteria that are very clearly defined and consistent for all distributors. Our next and ongoing challenge is to recognise that despite our very high score, we must strive to improve and win for a third successive year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am delighted that Avnet Abacus has won the gold TDK European Distribution Award for international volume distributors,\u201d said Peter Miller, Senior Director Distribution Sales at TDK. \u201cThe repeat performance is reflective of their sustained strategy of support for TDK and, more importantly, for our customers. Avnet Abacus continues to display the required acumen for long-term growth from the design phase to logistical support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avnet Abacus is an authorised TDK distributor throughout Europe and offers TDK\u2019s broad range of passive electronic components, including multilayer ceramic capacitors as well as aluminium electrolytic and film capacitors, ferrites and inductors, high-frequency components and modules, piezo and protection devices and sensors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
