Rohde & Schwarz has worked with Avnet and EBV for more than 40 years. Miguel Fernandez, president EM EMEA at Avnet, said: "Rohde & Schwarz uses our entire range of services, from design to complex logistics programmes. This agreement puts our collaboration on a new footing – an important step towards a genuine strategic partnership on equal terms."
The production of Rohde & Schwarz high-tech products makes complex demands on the company's supply chain, which needs to ensure that the delivery of electronic components and sub-systems is on time, high quality and cost-effective. Peter Schlindwein, vp corporate procurement at Rohde & Schwarz, said: "In order to achieve this, we need flexible and competent suppliers. We have found these in Avnet and EBV Elektronik. Together, we have laid a new foundation which consolidates the current business and provides a legal platform to extend it further."
