Avnet Celebrates 40-Year Collaboration with Grayhill in the Americas

Business Wire
In the annals of the electronics industry history, 1975 will
always be remembered as the year Paul Allen and Bill Gates changed
the course of computing history with the founding of their startup
software business. But for Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), a leading
global technology distributor, and Grayhill Inc., 1975 also marks
the signing of a distribution agreement that, in the ensuing
decades, would grow into the powerful design and supply chain
solutions collaboration it is today. Avnet and Grayhill celebrated
this milestone with an award exchange earlier this month.
Grayhill, Inc. designs and manufactures intuitive human
interface solutions, including optical encoders, rotary switches,
keypads, joysticks and pushbuttons. As demand for more interactive
user-device experience grows, Grayhill has expanded its line to
include state-of-the-art multi-touch surfaces and display overlays,
and finely tuned haptic capability. Grayhill’s recently introduced
Series T4 projected capacitive touch panel combines a high
resolution touch sensor optically bonded to protective cover glass
with an advanced multi-touch controller.
“I think the mark of a truly successful relationship is the
ability to grow individually and together over time,” said Ed
Smith, president, Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. “Both Avnet
and Grayhill are very different companies today than we were 40
years ago when we first began working together, yet through all the
changes, we continue to find ways to leverage our collective
strengths to fulfill growing customer demand for industry leading
human interface solutions that push the technological
envelope.”
“Avnet has been an invaluable contributor to Grayhill’s growth
over the past 40 years, helping us to reach our customers around
the world. Avnet's superior supply chain solutions ensure that our
customers receive the right components when and where they are
needed,” said Jeff Sherry, distribution sales manager, Grayhill.
“With Avnet's support, Grayhill is looking forward to another 40
years of progress and innovation.”
