Distributors such as Digi-Key play an important role in supporting design engineers as they develop new products. Therefore it is vital that we have an excellent relationship with our partners as we open up new markets for our high-reliability connectors and cost-saving PCB boardware products. Dustin has been highly influential in establishing our business through Digi-Key. He has been our product manager since launch and his drive and determination has seen Harwin rapidly climb Digi-Key’s connector supplier rankings. Digi-Key now includes a significant number of our products in their portfolio, all supported by deep technical training resources on-line. I am therefore delighted to present him with our Chairman’s Award for 2011.

It is an honour to receive this Award which I accept on behalf of the whole team at Digi-Key. Harwin is an important supplier for Digi-Key, providing our customers with commercially-priced yet very high performance connector products.
