Distributor

Premier Farnell UK Ltd.

Trading as Farnell (an Avnet company since Avnet's 2016 acquisition of Premier Farnell), this UK-registered legal entity operates a broadline electronics and industrial components distributor stocking over one million products, including semiconductors, passives, electromechanical parts, interconnects, sensors, and test and tools equipment. The Farnell brand covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Japan, while sister brands under the same group serve the Americas (Newark) and Asia Pacific (element14), giving the organization a broad global distribution footprint. It functions as a large catalog/broadline distributor for engineers and industrial buyers rather than a niche specialist.
