You can count on it - Long-term reliable SUPPORT!
Which electronic component fits into your development in the long term?
How do you successfully, quickly and easily integrate peripherals such as displays, sensors, wireless, memory, USB, touch sensing or connectivity in your application?
From the product idea until far beyond the series production –
You always have to keep an eye on the market and make smart decisions with regard to the electronic components and distribution partners you rely on for your development. You have to trust and have confidence in functioning supply chains in this respect. You must also be able to guide the in-house development quickly and safely through the required certification process. And all of this even in times of crisis such as corona, rapidly changing markets and volatile global trade agreements.
There is something else which should not be forgotten – does your laboriously programmed software run safely in practical operation? Electronic components and systems are becoming more and more networked and complex in their application. The selection is huge. The "chemistry" simply has to be right for the interaction with the components. High-quality, complex products also require high-quality support.
You are faced with great challenges in spite of progressive digitisation, especially in the embedded environment. As a special distributor, we support you as an important interface between the manufacturer and user to help you meet these challenges.
It is important to know who to contact if you have any questions.
The portfolio is so concentrated and focused at GLYN that we can offer in-depth advice in sales and technology.
The people who work here know which components fit into your applications based on technical and commercial specifications.
Our application engineers have already read the manual. Simply because they have a passion and enthusiasm for electronics. They have worked in development themselves and already know the answers to many questions which developers will definitely be confronted with in the course of the development.
The sales department deals with known components on a daily basis. That is why the staff always have quick access to important information for the purchaser. Customers appreciate our knowledgeable answers and our solutions. Manufacturers therefore have a strong design-in partner. Useful design-in tools have been created on the basis of customer requests and suggestions.
