Avago Technologies announced that pan-European semiconductor distribution specialist EBV Elektronik, an Avnet Company (NYSE:AVT), has received the Avago “European Distributor of the Year Award 2006” for outstanding performance in sales growth and design activities.
                
The Avago Distributor of the Year Award  was presented only two times over the last 6 years and it was in the year 2000 when EBV got this award the last time. EBV won various Performance Excellence Awards in different categories over the last six years. Avago only presents this award whenever a partner shows outstanding perfomance in both categories: Sales Growth and Design Wins.

“Congratulations to a fantastic team of people! Thank you EBV for your dedication, innovation and hard work and this great performance!,” said Steffi Kircher, Sales Director Distribution for Avago Technologies. “We are very proud of the close relationship that we have with the whole EBV Team throughout Europe. Their energy and enthusiasm contributes in the most refreshing way to our common success, let’s keep up this spirit!”

“It is a great honour to receive this special award from Avago Technologies. This recognition is very unique because it is only presented to a distributor who performs exceptionally well,” said S. Puljarevic, President of EBV Elektronik. "The fact that in the last 6 years it was only given twice and both times to us is a great success for the whole EBV team. Such results are only possible if the relationship between a distributor and a supplier works very well at all levels. Therefore, I would also like to express my thanks and appreciation to the Avago team. Without their dedication and support we would not have achieved this award!”
