Avnet Electronics Marketing (EM) has announced that the India business has crossed $100 million of EM's business in Asia, due in part to expanded geographical coverage over the years as well as an aim to uplift customer experiences by providing support across the board and helping customers to achieve cost-effective results.
"We are pleased that Avnet achieves a major milestone in the country by crossing US$100 million for the fiscal year 2007. With the largest share of the market, Avnet is a leading and dominant player in India in our business," said Stephen Wong, President, Avnet Electronics Marketing in Asia. "Going forward we will continue our commitment to the India market and focus on delivering what we call 'support across the board', enhanced services to support our customers in the region."
With over 300 top clients in India and a workforce of over 80 professionals, the company has considerably enhanced the service level to customers not only by expanding geographical coverage in key cities of India through its offices in Bangalore, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Pune, but also by providing a wider product portfolio.
"We set goals to focus on new and emerging markets, expanding customer base and offering customers both design help through the demand creation, and integrated supply chain services to customers. For every strategy established, we set our hearts and minds to outshine as a leading provider to service our customers,” said Ramani Sundaresan, country head, Avnet Electronics Marketing in India.
As part of its expansion plans, and keeping the future in mind, Avnet Electronics Marketing recently moved to a large new facility on Old Madras Road to cater to the increase in workforce and specialized equipments in the company lab, which in turn enables the team to extend its technical and design support especially in segments such as low power wireless designs.
