Commenting, Graeme Dorkings, Director Distribution Sales – EMEA for KEMET said, “Avnet Abacus has turned in an exceptional performance during our 2009 financial year, growing its business through dedication and focus on the KEMET line. Their dedication growing year on year capturing market share is impressive. This success is the result of a close relationship between the Avnet Abacus and KEMET marketing teams and a shared commitment to identifying and closing new design-in opportunities for KEMET solutions.”
Alan Jermyn, vice president of marketing for Avnet Abacus responded saying, “KEMET is a key strategic franchise for Avnet Abacus, and we work closely with them to identify opportunities to take their products and introduce them to new customer designs. KEMET’s service and support on working with us on these opportunities is exceptional, and is a key contributor to our success together.
