Waldom Electronics Expands Manufacturer Line Card with Knowles Partnership
29-08-2024 | By Waldom Electronics
Waldom Electronics, a leading Master Distributor of electronic components, has recently expanded its manufacturer line card by partnering with Knowles. This collaboration enhances Waldom’s ability to provide high-quality components to its global network of distributors while reinforcing its commitment to sustainability through the Green Stock Program.
Knowles Joins Waldom’s Distribution Network
As part of this new partnership, Knowles has appointed Waldom Electronics as its Master Distributor. This appointment allows Waldom to support Knowles' distribution channel with reduced Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) and immediate access to a wide range of products. By working with Waldom, Knowles can ensure that their advanced components are readily available to distributors, meeting diverse market needs efficiently.
Knowles, a global leader in high-performance capacitors, RF filtering products, advanced micro-acoustic microphones, and balanced armature speakers, is recognised for its commitment to quality and innovation. Recently honoured with the 2024 World Green Manufacturing Excellence Award, Knowles is deeply invested in sustainable manufacturing practices—values that align closely with Waldom’s initiatives.
Advancing Sustainability with the Green Stock Program
A key element of this partnership is Knowles’ participation in Waldom’s Green Stock Program. This initiative focuses on managing global distributor stock rotations, ensuring that excess components are reintroduced into the supply chain rather than being discarded. This collaboration aims to significantly reduce environmental waste while providing distributors with a steady supply of high-performance components.
Waldom’s Green Stock Program has already repurposed over 5.7 billion components that might otherwise have ended up in landfills. By integrating Knowles into this program, both companies are taking important steps toward more sustainable and responsible manufacturing and distribution practices.
