Posted by Jenny Miller on Thu, Apr 01, 2010 @ 03:26 PM
In the time we live in, the world has indeed become flat. As we strive to provide our customers with the right parts at the eleventh hour, we cannot turn aside from viable sources of electronic components that meet the needs of our customers. Most manufacturers in the electronics industry have been harmed by counterfeit components and we need to have the necessary tools to separate the authentic from the false.
According to the article World Hardware: Semiconductor Marekting Update, 53% of global semiconductor sales are going to the Asia-Pacific region. This makes up more than half of the global market, and we cannot afford to ignore the supply of components this region brings...especially when it comes to dealing with supply chain interruptions that need solutions yesterday.
Most quality problems originate in the Asia Pacific region, and companies must develop a strategy to procure quality electronic components from Asia Pacific.
Does your supplier have a strategy?
We do.
IC Trends is pleased to announce our partnership with White Horse, a firm specializing in the inspection and testing of electronic components coming out of China. White Horse's testing facility is located in Asia so that we can determine whether or not you are getting the right product before it exits the region and gets anywhere near your supply chain.
In this world, we have to be on top of our game so that you can be on top of yours. Our developed relationship with White Horse is one more way that IC Trends brings value to your business and earns our place as your go-to business partner for quality electronic components.
