HARTING PRESENTS BROADLINE DISTRIBUTOR AWARD TO ABACUS
29 January 2004 - Harting

Connector manufacturer Harting has presented its 2003 Broadline Distributor of the Year Award to the Abacus Group. Abacus Group plc is one of the leading distributors of electronic components in Europe. Established in 1972 as Abacus Electronics, the company has developed both by growth in its core business of component distribution and by acquisition of related businesses.

The group now offers component distribution and value added services, including box build, electromechanical subcontract manufacturer, technical support, customised displays and manufacture of display peripherals.

Commenting on the Harting Award, Martin Brooks, Marketing Director of Abacus, said: 'We are highly delighted to win this award from Europe's leading connector manufacturer. This reinforces our belief that our differentiated approach, coupled with our highly motivated workforce, provides the most efficient and effective distribution supply route for suppliers.'

Doreen Sanderson, Distribution Manager for Harting, is equally enthusiastic: 'Abacus have proved that they can address the challenges of the marketplace in a positive and pro-active way, and we look forward to building on our already strong relationship. To add to this, their success came within only their second year of having the franchise.'
