Avnet Silica, an Avnet company, has announced it has won the award for the in the EMEA region from STMicroelectronics (ST), a leading global semiconductor manufacturer and one of the top silicon vendors across Europe and the wider EMEA region.
A key factor was Avnet Silica’s exceptionally high level of augmented sales of ST products and technologies — with double-digit growth in 2018 compared to the previous year. The distributor also achieved significant growth for ST based on sales of standard products, as well as creating new demand with a raft of new design opportunities. In addition to this company-wide distribution award, 15 members of Avnet Silica’s engineering team received individual merit awards for ‘outstanding performance in demand creation’ and ‘outstanding contribution for growth’.
Targeting a diverse range of applications in different markets including industrial, medical, communications and multimedia, Avnet Silica distributes a wide portfolio of ST products including analogue, discrete, and digital-logic components, including ARM-core-based microcontrollers, along with power management ICs and MEMS sensors.
“Avnet Silica has earned ST’s recognition because of their success in growing sales as well as maximizing new design opportunities for our products,” said Frank Wolinski, EMEA Region Vice President at STMicroelectronics. “Contributing to this, we also gave special individual awards to 15 members of their engineering team to recognize those engineers’ work in helping us to achieve key distribution sales targets.”
