NEWARK INONE AND MITUTOYO SIGN ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION FIRST
CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 — Premier Farnell subsidiary Newark, the leading small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in the Americas, and Mitutoyo America Corporation, the world's #1 manufacturer of precision dimensional measuring tools, instruments and systems, today announced a supply agreement that enables companies in the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil to buy the brand through the electronics distribution channel for the first time.
Steven Pike, Mitutoyo America Vice President Sales, said, "Mitutoyo is very excited about its entrée to the electronics industry offered by our relationship with Newark. Electronics is a market we haven't been highly visible in before and we are confident that, given Newark's history of selling instruments, Mitutoyo can make this a very profitable venture for both organizations."
Jeff Shafer, senior vice president, product, Newark, remarks, "Mitutoyo has outstanding name recognition, and we are proud to be the first electronics distributor to offer this top brand to our customers across the Americas."
As a Mitutoyo distributor, Newark has access to the manufacturer's precision tool offering, and stocks its best-selling devices including digital calipers, micrometers and combination squares.
