"Richardson Electronics is a great addition to our growing list of partners in North America. Exxelia Group's standard capacitor products offering along with our custom design capability and global manufacturing footprint is a natural fit with Richardson's highly technical sales force and their commitment to early design cycle demand creation," said Mike Thomas, President of Exxelia USA.
