Rutronik and Jauch Quartz America Inc. cooperate in North America
Rutronik and Jauch Quartz America Inc. have entered into a distribution agreement for North America. The agreement is effective immediately and applies to the entire Jauch product range.
In addition to various types of batteries (such as lithium, nickel-metal hydride, lead, and alkaline batteries), Jauch Quartz also manufactures frequency control components such as quartz crystals, quartz oscillators, and MEMS oscillators for a large variety of applications.
Besides a wide range of products, Jauch offers its customers personalized technical support, such as an analysis to identify defects in the customer’s circuitry. Fast delivery thanks to global logistics rounds out the company’s offering, which represents an attractive complete solution for customers.
Synergies through Major Overlaps between the Two Companies
Both companies see major overlaps between Rutronik as an innovative, globally positioned distributor and Jauch as an equally innovative supplier of frequency control components and batteries.
“Rutronik completed a rigorous selection process and was ultimately chosen because our partner companies believe in innovation. We look forward to working together and are confident that our customers will benefit from this agreement,” says Christian Schwenk, President of Jauch Quartz America Inc.
“By entering into this agreement with Jauch Quartz America Inc., Rutronik has gained a strong partner in North America in the field of timing devices and battery solutions. Jauch’s high-quality product range perfectly complements our portfolio there,” says Gerhard Weinhardt, Director Global Marketing at Rutronik.
