Nordic Semiconductor is expected to significantly expand its supply channels, making its IoT and wireless solutions, where Nordic has strengths, more accessible worldwide.

Nordic announced on the 16th that it has entered into a strategic partnership with global technology distribution company Future Electronics.

This partnership sees Future Electronics join Nordic’s global group of distribution partners, bringing a full range of Nordic wireless and IoT technologies to market.

This agreement is about more than just distribution. Future Electronics plans to provide customers with a wider range of solutions by also supplying products from Nordic-certified module partners.

In particular, products based on technologies such as Bluetooth LE, cellular IoT, and Wi-Fi are provided quickly and reliably through Future's global network across 44 countries around the world.

“We are very excited about the partnership with Future Electronics, as our close collaboration will enable a tailored customer approach,” says Geir Langeland, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Nordic Semiconductor. “Future has a strong presence in the wireless space and is viewed as an ideal supplier partner.”

“The combined capabilities of our two companies will enhance our market competitiveness and deliver real value to our end customers,” said Matthew Rotholz, Corporate Vice President, Connectivity Solutions at Future Electronics. “We expect this to significantly contribute to strengthening Nordic’s position in the global market.”

The partnership takes effect immediately and will see Nordic products distributed worldwide via Future Electronics’ global supply chain.

Nordic's solutions, with their strengths particularly in the industrial, healthcare, smart home and wearable sectors, are expected to increase accessibility to a wide range of customers.
