Since joining ECIA as a member in 2016, Crouzet employees have served on a variety of committees and councils. Robert Derringer, the company’s Director, Global Channel is an active member of the Manufacturing Council.
Robert adds, “ECIA membership provides Crouzet the opportunity to understand how the ‘best and brightest’ in the electronics components supply chain view the market. Interaction with other ECIA members allows us to better understand how to deal with today’s tougher challenges, such as evolving environmental and data privacy compliance regulations and unexpected issues such as tariffs and pandemic closures. We also value the insight gained on anti-counterfeiting, market trends, automated data exchange, and best practices adopted by member suppliers. On a personal level, being part of ECIA’s Manufacturing Council allows me to give back to an industry that’s provided me tremendous career opportunity for the past 30+ years.”
Thanks to the Crouzet team for their contributions to the association!
Latest Market Trends Survey Results Released
Industry sentiment for the electronics component market sales rocketed upward in March
ECIA’s Electronic Component Sales Trend (ECST) monthly survey shows that month-to-month sales growth sentiment leapt up between 26 and 27 points in component and end-market measures from February to March. This market performance far outpaces the expectations looking toward March from February and continues a strong surge in the index that started in January. While expectations for month-to-month sales growth from March to April are not as strong as the March actual measurement, it should be remembered that any score above 100 indicates growth expectations. In this light, the overall index average looking toward April is extremely strong. Read the report.

100 Year Evolution of Authorized Distribution
Many companies in the electronics industry are celebrating milestone anniversaries. With a nod to the industry’s start on Radio Row, it is the perfect time to celebrate 100 years of the Distribution Channel and its impact on the tech industry and society.
ECIA is assisting in the creation of a historical document that recognizes the visionaries and founders of our industry, the companies that made a difference, technology, operational advancements, and the Association - which has helped spur the growth and value of the tech channel.
An e-book is being developed – and your company has a chance to tell your story! Contribute your company history and purchase an ad to help offset the cost of this project. The final publication will be presented at the ECIA Executive Conference in October. For details, contact ECIA Senior VP Victor Meijers.
