In addition to increasing sales of Panasonic products, this award recognises a number of other factors including investment into stock profiling and promotion to customers in support of the Panasonic range and sales expansion in the Baltic region. Arrow’s ability to support customers at a design-in level through local technical sales and engineering teams was the other key factor that influenced the judge’s final choice.

Catrin Kristensen, Arrow marketing director for passive, electromechanical and connector products, said: “To win this award four times in a row is a great achievement. It reflects the ongoing investment that Arrow is making in growing sales by providing local support to customers throughout the Nordic countries and the Baltic States.”

Andy Cranke, northern european distribution sales manager at Panasonic Industrial Europe GmbH, added: “Our relationship with Arrow’s Nordic teams goes from strength to strength. This award is in recognition of the success that this relationship, combined with Arrow’s customer focus and technical capabilities, delivers for the Panasonic product lines.”
