Insert to the recent issue of Markt&Technik Quarterly Distribution & Dienstleistung quotes:
-Silica quotes 20% reduction in orders in Q1 2009 as opposing Q1 2008
-MSC Gleichmann was down 30% on the same period
-EMS Industrie was still 35% (networking)20% (telecom) down
-while Zollner recoded only 7% reduction.
One of our Distributors in Netherland has even sent us its newsletter titles "Crisis...?" The question mark is significant as this is the largest distributor in the country.
Acromag has recently introduced it new and strategic product the IO Server and we have already projects involving long term applications across EMEA.
Many distributors talk about time to make changes. Fewer new products perhaps but More focus on those products, more complete solution and services geared to move itself up the supply chain. Only wide open eyes, focus on paying customers and perserverence is the prescription for today and for tomorrow.
