“Last summer, we launched Digi-Key Marketplace to give engineers and innovators access to more product lines than ever before, through a one-stop shopping experience that serves the entire technology innovation ecosystem,” said Jim Ricciardelli, executive vice president of Digital Business at Digi-Key. “With Rochester Electronics joining the Marketplace, we are now able to offer more devices and semiconductors than ever before, providing our global engineering community with the parts they need most. The partnership between Digi-Key and Rochester is ideal for our customers, as we are both privately held companies driven by customer value. We are seeing an immediate positive impact for our customers.”.
The partnership also guarantees genuine components at a time when component counterfeiting is on the rise due to shortages and high demand. Rochester has alliances with over 70 authorized manufacturers, while Digi-Key is an authorized distributor for more than 1,800 suppliers in the industry.
“Working with the Digi-Key Marketplace team has been a truly rewarding experience,” says Christa Brooks, Channel Sales Manager at Rochester Electronics. “We see a high level of customer service from every department we work with, and the Marketplace digital portal is also very user-friendly. I’m very proud of the partnership between Digi-Key and Rochester in Marketplace.”.
