Avnet Electronics has signed a new distribution agreement with Taiyo Yuden. The distributor will carry the supplier’s line of capacitors, filters, inductors and magnetic components in North and South America.

Taiyo Yuden is one of the largest manufacturers of surface-mount capacitors and inductive components and its “product portfolio is a strong complement to Avnet’s current offerings,” says Pat Wastal, senior vice president of IP&E for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “The agreement will allow us to augment our historical supply chain solutions and position Avnet and Taiyo Yuden as premier logistics support providers for our customers,” he says.
