THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA – Global electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corporation, recognized by design engineers as having the industry’s largest selection of electronic components available for immediate shipment, today announced the signing of a global distribution agreement with VersaLogic Corporation, a leading manufacturer of embedded computers.
“The embedded industry continues to evolve with total cost of ownership and extended product life at the forefront. We wanted to offer our customers a premium line of embedded computers that would address this,” said Mark Zack, Vice President of Global Semiconductor Product at Digi-Key Corporation. “VersaLogic’s high-quality embedded products provide exceptional value to our expansive product offering and we are pleased to partner with them.”
