America II chosen as Most Preferred

June 2, 2003 - America II Electronics, Inc. has been chosen the "most preferred independent distributor" in EBN's Second Annual Distributor Customer Preference Study.

The study, which polled EBN subscribers with procurement and/or business management responsibilities who buy or approve the purchase of electronic components, equipment, or services through distributors, featured a section on the use of independent distributors to determine what circumstances drive companies to use independents and which independents are preferred. First place America II was rated three times higher than the next distributor in line and five times higher than the third place distributor in the study conducted April 10-18.

"At America II, we are continuously working to differentiate our level of service by raising the bar on quality standards, improving our operating procedures, and elevating the professionalism of our sales force. This is the first industry-wide survey to confirm that the customers are seeing the difference," says America II CEO Mike Galinski.
