We Love Our Partners – and the Feeling’s Mutual

We ended 2022 on a high note and started 2023 with a bang, receiving multiple prestigious awards from our valued partners YAGEO, Vishay, and ST Microelectronics.

Yageo and Avnet Exchange Honors

It was smiles all round on Yageo Tech Day, held for the first time on November 29, 2022, when Avnet Asia was declared “The Best Asia Distribution Partner” by the world-leading manufacturer of passive components. At the same event, Avnet returned the compliment by presenting Yageo with “The Best Partner” award.

Vishay Declares Our Partnership “Golden”

Just one day later, on November 30, 2022, Vishay Intertechnology, a global manufacturer of semiconductors, hosted a gala dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel in Singapore for its annual Golden Partner event. In recognition of Avnet’s integral role in the company’s significant increase in sales during a challenging year, Vishay presented top-level management with a golden rabbit figurine.

The latest Golden Partner award adds to a lineup that has grown over several years, during which Vishay presented Avnet with a series of golden figurines in the image of the next year’s Chinese zodiac sign. All signs point to a great partnership, filled with golden opportunities for mutual support and shared success.

A Win for One is a Win for All

Reflecting on these recent awards, Prince said, “Though awards ceremonies are single moments in time, they represent months of work and the ongoing efforts of hundreds of people. No doubt almost everyone in our organization has contributed in some way, large or small, directly or indirectly, to our latest wins. When I say I proudly accept these awards on behalf of Avnet, I truly mean it. Congratulations to each and every one of my colleagues.”

We echo Prince in extending our congratulations to all involved, and take this opportunity to sincerely thank our valued suppliers for the tributes and trophies.
