Digi-Key plans to expand the diversity of its products and suppliers in new product categories with its ‘Digi-Key Marketplace’
Leading electronic components distributor, Digi-Key Electronics recently announced that it expanded its portfolio in 2022 by adding over 550 new suppliers across its core business: Digi-Key Marketplace and Fulfilled by Digi-Key program. They also added over 75,000 new Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) to their core business unit last year.
The official release noted AirBorn, Endress+Hauser, EPC Space, Isabellenhutte and Schneider Electric as some of the key suppliers added to the Digi-Key portfolio in 2022. It further said that long-term suppliers, like Amphenol, continue to expand their offerings by adding new products from various divisions.
The ‘Fulfilled by Digi-Key’ program uses the company’s warehouse and logistics centre and brings the capabilities of a 3PL warehouse along with its global customer base and transaction website to market, sell, pick, pack, and ship a supplier’s products globally.
According to the company, Digi-Key Marketplace is a single source for all aspects of technology innovation, including bare PCB boards, industrial automation, test and measurement, IoT solutions etc. Digi-Key plans to expand the diversity of its products and suppliers in new product categories with its Digi-Key Marketplace, which claims to typically ship products within 1–5 days directly from the supplier.
