Intersil strengthens agreement with Avnet Memec

Intersil and Avnet Memec will work closely together to increase demand for Intersil's analog, mixed signal and power ICs. Intersil cited Avnet Memec's technical resources, logistics, supply chain management and customer support, which are complementary to Intersil's channel strategy, as reasons why it has extended this agreement globally. Following the September 2010 pan-European agreement between the two companies, Avnet Memec is now a key distribution partner for Intersil in EMEA. This move builds upon the North American momentum generated during the 2007 transition of Intersil from the broadline Avnet division to the more specialized Avnet Memec divison. Avnet Memec also supports Intersil in China, Japan and the Asia Pacific markets.
