Premier Farnell element14 websites

Premier Farnell has further expanded its operations into Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea with the launch of three new element14 websites.

The sites bring together both transactional and relationship capability, creating a platform where engineers can come to research, design, buy and work.

They offer access to the newest technologies from 3500 manufacturers and access to over 400,000 products, with 100,000 available for next-day delivery for most countries, from within the APAC region. The websites offer fast and simple search in local language with pricing in local currency and ease of access to a wide array of genuine electronic components, technical information and data.

Users will benefit from the company’s multi-channel business model, placing orders by phone and fax as well as online, with an expanded service capability to offer live user support 24/5 starting in November.

Named after the 14th element in the periodic table, silicon, element14 now also gives users in Thailand, Taiwan and Korea access to the online technology portal and e-community where engineers worldwide collaborate daily, share information and research the latest technology.

element14 facilitates interaction, collaboration and information sharing among users, and is a tool to support design engineers in their work. The e-community already has a well-established following across Asia Pacific, with its built-in translation tool enabling users of different languages to converse in real time.

The system now has a good product offering for electronic design engineers in all Asia. Users can also secure price and delivery quotes, discover industry trends, and post blogs, articles and comments in this forum.
