The Rohde & Schwarz electronics group has extended its partnership agreement with Avnet and EBV Elektronik. The contract enables the distributors to ensure the availability of the electronic components and technical support it requires.
Rohde & Schwarz has worked with Avnet and EBV for more than 40 years. Miguel Fernandez, president EM EMEA at Avnet, said: "Rohde & Schwarz uses our entire range of services, from design to complex logistics programmes. This agreement puts our collaboration on a new footing – an important step towards a genuine strategic partnership on equal terms."
The production of Rohde & Schwarz high-tech products makes complex demands on the company's supply chain, which needs to ensure that the delivery of electronic components and sub-systems is on time, high quality and cost-effective. Peter Schlindwein, vp corporate procurement at Rohde & Schwarz, said: "In order to achieve this, we need flexible and competent suppliers. We have found these in Avnet and EBV Elektronik. Together, we have laid a new foundation which consolidates the current business and provides a legal platform to extend it further."
