Memec - a global specialist distributor

27 March 2002 News

Since its 1974 inception, Memec's business model has continued to define the company's innovative approach to specialty semiconductor distribution, a vision realised by way of the company's multidivisional organisation.

The Memec Group comprises Insight, Unique and Impact, separate business units that maintain focused supplier distribution and, in some cases, representation. This structure facilitates demand creation capabilities unique to the industry. Although each member of The Memec Group operates independently, they utilise common corporate-wide resources: Memec Design Services, the engineering resources group, and Memec United, the global logistics and EMS services division.

The Memec Group companies are located throughout 42 countries, and collectively represent over 200 developers and manufacturers of advanced semiconductors and intellectual property. With recent start-ups and acquisitions in Japan and Eastern Europe, Memec continues to expand its presence to emerging key areas of the global semiconductor market.

With enormous organic growth and expansion into all commercial regions of the world, Memec has become a truly global specialist semiconductor distributor, an accomplishment that merits a website with the comprehensive scope and features equal to the company's worldwide presence. This new site will establish a multilingual community that encompasses all realms of Memec's business and features many powerful tools, including a parametric search engine and user-customised portals devoted to valuable engineering tools.
