announced today that customers visiting www.AvnetExpress.com
now have enhanced visibility into authorized supplier factory stock.
Now, not only can customers view the in-stock availability of Avnet’s
robust catalog of more than 5 million electronic

select group of suppliers -- helping design engineers make better buying
decisions and making it easier to plan and manage production schedules.
This offering builds upon Avnet’s long-standing commitment to display
and sell only factory-sourced products, eliminating the need to purchase

“By leveraging our strong supplier relationships, Avnet Express has
given our customers the option to look beyond Avnet’s vast in-stock
catalog -- for large and small volume buys,” said Beth Ely, senior vice
president, Avnet Express. “We’ve created a virtual window allowing our
customers to have an expanded view of the inventory available to them --
while continuing to provide products from a trusted, authorized source.”
The ability to view factory stock is currently available for Cooper
Bussman, ebm-papst, Integrated Device Technologies (IDT), M/A-Com
Technology Solutions, Maxim, National Semiconductor, Omron Electronics,
Rochester Electronics, Stackpole and Texas Instruments (TI). Additional
suppliers are scheduled to be added in the future.
Avnet Express also offers parametric searching capabilities and the
ability to upload a bill of materials (BOM) for easier sourcing of
products and a consistent global platform of localized content. The site
can be accessed in nine languages and 13 currencies.
