High reliability interconnect systems maker, Harwin, has announced its Farnell as its French Distributor of the Year. In addition to the printed publications - widely regarded as industry 'bibles', Farnell's innovative eCommerce activities were also significant in deciding the winner of the award.
Comments Harwin's Managing Director, Andrew McQuilken: "Farnell France produces the most comprehensive and high quality suite of catalogues in the region: it also has an excellent on-line ordering interface. This award recognises the significant impact of the catalogue and web site, and the contribution to our joint marketing efforts. Other key factors which helped determine our decision to present this award to Farnell France include the substantial year on year growth that the company has achieved, and the willingness of the company to make a significant commitment in terms of staff time and resources to undergo thorough product training on the Harwin range."
Comments Christophe Bonnot, Farnell’s Product Marketing and Supply Chain Manager: "This award truly demonstrates the benefits of local people driving and supporting a local market. Both Harwin and Farnell France committed to engage in local awareness and marketing campaigns. This award is evidence that the local engagement between the two companies is a success."
