Kemet Corp has extended its relationship with Premier Farnell by signing a deal with its award-winning subsidiary in Europe Asia Pacific (EAP), Farnell InOne.

Already serving Kemet in North America through Newark InOne, Premier Farnell will now also represent it in EAP, supporting the company's long-term strategy to become preferred capacitor supplier with the world's most successful electronic companies.

As a result of the global channel agreement with Premier Farnell, Kemet products will be available to customers of Premier Farnell and its subsidiaries around the world.

This latest global agreement for Premier Farnell underlines the strengths and capabilities harnessed by the grouping of its "InOne" businesses - principally Farnell InOne and Newark InOne.

Together, the InOne companies aim to work across geographic and business boundaries to deliver the best service possible to customers and suppliers locally.

Commenting, Jim Bruorton, Vice President Worldwide Distribution Sales at Kemet, said: "I am extremely pleased that we are expanding our relationship with Premier Farnell".

"We share a very strong relationship with Newark InOne in North America and expanding that globally only serves to strengthen our distributor channel".

"Catalogue, be it online or paper based, distribution is a key strategy in our global demand identification effort for Kemet products, and I am confident that having Premier Farnell as a global channel partner will help us in that endeavour".

Marianne Culver, Group Director, Global Supplier Management, Premier Farnell, added: "The extension of our US Kemet franchise with Newark InOne into Europe and Asia Pacific with Farnell InOne demonstrates recognition of the Premier Farnell Group's ability to serve markets effectively in all regions".

"We look forward to supporting Kemet's latest capacitor technologies in EAP and to providing our customers around the world with an increasingly global product offering".
