September 11, 2009 - EBV Elektronik Launches New Vertical Sales Segment to Support Customers in Consumer Applications

EBV Elektronik, an Avnet (NYSE:AVT) company and the leading specialist in EMEA semiconductor distribution, has announced the launch of the Consumer Sales Team, a new vertical sales segment to provide dedicated support for customers in the consumer market.

EBV already offers dedicated support via specialist sales teams for customers in general lighting, automotive and RFID. These teams provide tailor-made technical, commercial and logistical support to customers in these specific markets all over EMEA.

"Strategic dedication ensures long-term success. As our customers' applications and markets become more specialised, they expect specialisation from EBV in order to help them to become or stay leaders in their markets. They appreciate our dedicated technical and commercial support, as well as our knowledge of their markets, challenges and opportunities. The results in our already-established vertical areas of general lighting, automotive and RFID confirm that our strategy of dedicated support is paying-off for our customers, which is why we will gradually extend these markets," explains Rudy Van Parijs, vice president Technical Development at EBV.

Today , people are surrounded by a multi-level convergent media world, in which communication and information are continually evolving to adapt to the demands of new technologies. This changes the way that humans create, consume, learn and interact with each other.

"Digital convergence can refer to separate technologies such as voice, data and video that now share resources and interact with each other synergistically to create new, more efficient products," says Karim Khebere, Vertical Segment Manager Europe (VSME) for the consumer market. "EBV Elektronik plays a key role in the development of these products and will continue to invest in this market, delivering state-of-the-art technologies from key semiconductor suppliers, and best-in-class logistics, supported by a unified, talented team," Khebere concludes.
