Anglia expands optoelectronics range with Liteon signing
Optoelectronics products available from the distributor, Anglia components, have been expanded with a new partnership with Liteon Technology. The partnership will increase Anglia’s offering in discrete LEDs, ultra violet and infra red LEDs and opto couplers.
Explaining one of the reasons for expanding the portfolio with the Liteon line, Anglia’s technical director, David Pearson says: “Demand is growing for opto-electronics products, particularly in the applications of UV LEDs for sterilisation and infra red LEDs for security and sensing solutions”.
The benefits for Liteon are equally clear for Roland Prinzen, director of sales for Europe for Liteon. He says: “We recognise the value of a strong distribution network for our components, and, given their outstanding reputation in the UK and Ireland, we are delighted to partner with Anglia. Opto devices are key to many designs, increasingly so as we move to a new normal following covid-19, and we are confident that its [field application engineering] FAE team will identify many new customers who can benefit from our innovative solutions.”
Anglia is supporting the new line with inventory on the most popular parts, which are available from Anglia Live. The Anglia team has been trained on the product portfolio and is on hand to support customer designs.
Founded in 1975, Liteon has a vision of being the “best partner in opto-electronic, eco-friendly and intelligent technology” by focusing on the development of opto-electronics and key electronic components. Its devices are used in a broad range of applications including communications, consumer electronics and healthcare.
