Programming centre promises 3-day turnaround
In line with its strategy to deliver consistent local support to a global customer base, Arrow Electronics has opened a multi-million-dollar ISO9000-compliant European programming facility.
The centre is now handling seven million devices a year and, to support the growth in customer requirements, Arrow recently added an extra work shift.
As a result, the centre operates for 24 hours a day, five days a week.
Commenting on the significant growth of the centre, Mike Heljula, Arrow's Programming Centre Manager, states: "The programming centre offers key value added services for our customers across Europe, and more and more of these customers are outsourcing their programming, marking and tape-and-reel requirements to us".
"Offering these services as an in-house operation clearly differentiates Arrow from its competitors in the sales of programmable devices".
"Through ongoing investment in equipment and resources we have been able to address these increased demands while ensuring we have enough spare capacity to handle additional throughputs of up to 100,000 devices per week".
