Farnell signs new agreement with passive component giant Farnell, an Avnet Company, has signed a new global franchise agreement with Yageo, extending its existing relationship to give customers access to the full product range. Yageo is one of the world’s largest passive component companies and a major of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs). It's worth remembering that the company completed its USD 1.6 billion acquisition of KEMET last year. This new agreement represents a further strengthening of Farnell’s passive component range, with the complete portfolio of Yageo products now available for delivery worldwide. Passive component solutions now available from Farnell will support design and maintenance engineers working in key markets such as automotive and transportation, telecommunications, industrial and smart manufacturing as well as power and energy.
