For “outstanding service and as best Distributor of 2008” Samsung Electro-Mechanics has once again honoured Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH with the “Distributor of the Year Award”. One of the world’s leading manufacturers of passive components, particularly in the field of ceramic capacitors, is honouring Rutronik’s success in increasing sales, augmenting the market share and obtaining new customers.

In the 2008 financial year, Rutronik succeeded in gaining numerous new
customers for Samsung components, increasing sales significantly and
further expanding the market share for ceramic capacitors. During the twelve-
year partnership Rutronik has grown in Europe to become the strongest
partner in the Samsung Electro-Mechanics European distribution network.
“In addition to these purely economic aspects, what we value about Rutronik is its wide market presence in the form of branches throughout Europe as well as the first-class cooperation with Rutronik as evidenced by the valuable
contributions towards product development that it has made, and the
successful promotions programmes it has initiated”, stated Senior Sales
Manager Frank Göbel at Samsung Electro-Mechanics.

“With a Europe-wide franchise contract Samsung is one of Rutroniks’ biggest
suppliers in the passive sector. Following major successes with standard
components, Samsung has meanwhile become a strong partner for innovative products, particularly in the field of ceramic capacitors. The company has invested at above-average levels into research and development, with the result that, for example, it is now able to supply products for the high-capacitance capacitors and automotive sectors. With its strategic direction towards the European market and its local technical support, Samsung Electro-Mechanics will continue in the future to be an extremely reliable partner which is extremely important for our customers,” explained Holger Franke, Marketing Director for passive components at Rutronik. “With its in-depth knowledge of the manufacture of raw materials and its implementation into production processes on the production lines that the company has developed itself, Samsung is a trailblazer in technology and expertise".
