Avnet Abacus, one of Europe’s leading interconnect, passive, electro-mechanical and power distributors and a regional business unit of Avnet (NASDAQ: AVT), today congratulated Bourns, a world-leading supplier of a wide range of passive electronic components, on its 75th anniversary in business. The company was set up in Altadena, California in 1947 – coincidentally the same year as the invention of the first working point-contact transistor by Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley at Bell Labs, which arguably represents the birth of the modern electronics industry.
In addition to the 75th anniversary of Bourns, this year also marks a milestone for the relationship between Bourns and Avnet Abacus, as the two companies are celebrating more than 21 years working together, since March 2001. Aimed at a broad range of markets including telecommunications, computer, industrial, instrumentation, automotive, consumer, and non-critical life-support medical applications, Avnet Abacus supports a wide range of Bourns products and technologies including magnetic products, microelectronic modules, circuit protection devices, sensors, trimming and precision potentiometers, panel controls, switches, encoders and resistive products.
“We are delighted to share our 75th anniversary with Avnet Abacus and all our strategic partners,” said Ferdinand Leicher, Vice President Sales EMEA at Bourns. “Building upon this celebration, this year also represents another milestone for our relationship with Avnet Abacus, which has been a key and highly valued distribution partner for us across Europe over the past two decades. Long may our success together continue.”
“All of us here at Avnet Abacus are honoured to have been a long-term strategic partner for Bourns,” said Hagen Goetze, Senior Director Marketing at Avnet Abacus. “We look forward to continuing our relationship over many more years. We also pay tribute to the major technology innovations that Bourns has achieved in the electronics industry over the past 75 years from the onset of modern electronics to the global and dynamic industry of today.”
