Anglia scoops Panasonic Award for the third time

Anglia named Distributor of the Year for the second year running Panasonic Industry Europe has awarded Anglia Components with its Regional Distributor of the Year award for the second year running. In recognition of its exceptional sales growth and support for customers during a difficult year, this is the third occasion that Anglia has received the award, an exceptional achievement amongst Panasonic’s network of regional distributors across Europe.

Ian Needham, Section Head of Sales Distribution of Panasonic, said, “2020 has certainly been a challenging year for the entire industry, but as always, Anglia has outperformed the tough market conditions. Anglia is a pleasure to work with and this achievement is very well deserved. Their design-in services are second to none and in times of uncertainty, they provide much needed reassurance to their customers by holding additional inventory in the UK. We will present this award virtually via Microsoft Teams, but hope to congratulate Anglia in person as soon as circumstances permit.”

John Bowman, Marketing Director at Anglia, responded, “Panasonic is one of the best-known names in our industry, highly regarded for its outstanding innovation which is enjoyed by our FAE teams and Anglia customers. We are proud to be recognised as Regional Distributor of the Year once again, and to add this award to our collection of achievements.”

Anglia has been a Panasonic distributor since 2000 and promotes Panasonic’s full portfolio of capacitors, resistors, inductors, switches, thermal materials, circuit protection, sensors, batteries and wireless connectivity devices. Anglia holds UK-based inventory on a wide range of the most popular products and provides full application design support for customers.
