AVX AVX Corp

AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has launched its new corporate website. Comprehensive, visually engaging, and easy to navigate, the new AVX website delivers a virtual corporate presence that accurately reflects the cutting-edge technology and seamless integration that its products enable in applications including: automotive, medical, renewable energy, optical communications, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and lighting. The new site actively anticipates user needs, providing several different intuitive paths to the same information from various entry points — including product pages, industry applications, and catalogs — in addition to a dynamic new search engine and much more detailed top, side, and bottom navigation bars. It also offers an interactive and illustrated application-to-component search feature, a new video library for both passive and interconnect products, and more direct links to engineering design tools, like its Part Builder. "We are extremely excited to unveil the new website," said Nick Kovalsky, product promotions manager at AVX.
