Smiths Interconnect is excited to announce its top-performing distributors for the year 2024. The Distribution Awards initiative recognizes business partners who have significantly contributed to the growth of Smiths Interconnect across its three operating regions: the Americas, EMEA, and Asia. Winners in each region were selected based on their exceptional performance compared to the previous fiscal year.
"With the Smiths Interconnect Distribution Awards, we recognize the vital role our distributors play in our success, and we look forward to continued growth for our businesses."” said Vera Parker, President of Smiths Interconnect.
Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our distributors across all three regions, a greater number of business partners have been awarded this year. A total of seven distributors have been honoured for their outstanding contributions. In the Americas, FDH Electronics has been awarded the distributor of the year. FDH is a long-lasting partner of Smiths Interconnect (beginning the business relationship with Electro Enterprises) and during the years, they have proved to be a trusted and collaborative partner. A couple of recent initiatives that have contributed to their growth: the Hyper series stocking package made FDH Electronics become an international partner for the selected hyperboloid contacts, and the stocking package for cPCI connectors definitely boosted their growth.
In the EMEA region, Smiths Interconnect has recognized two distinct distributors for their outstanding growth throughout 2024. The Spanish distributor SCP SINTERSA (Sistemas de Interconexión SA) has achieved the best growth during 2024 for the Connectors product line. Thanks to its well-established sales network and strong business relationships with key customers, the Spanish company has achieved outstanding results across the Iberian Peninsula. These successes are also driven by a solid inventory of connectors and the added value provided by its cabling services.
The Turkish company Matec Elektronik received the second EMEA award for their outstanding contribution for the Fiber Optic and Components product lines in 2024, including the key support in maintaining a positive relationship with local customers.
Last but not least as it presents the higher number of awards, Asia was one of the most active areas from a distribution standpoint. For this reason, Smiths Interconnect has decided to award the following 4 business partners:
- Sangdo Electronics: Highly Commended Distributor for Business Growth 2024 for Connectors product line. Throughout the year Sangdo was particularly active in the design-in activity for Space and Industrial applications and won same important new projects
- HS4B: Highly Commended Distributor for Business Growth 2024 for Fiber Optic and Components product line. They have done an exceptional job to promote this product line and grow its business in South Korea.

In 2024, they continued the exceptional performance demonstrated in 2023, contributing to a 33% increase in sales. They have also consistently shown strong motivation to expand our activity in China, where they have nearly doubled Smiths Interconnect’s business over the past two years.

This special award is the recognition for their support and collaboration both in the consolidated Chinese market and in the growing Taiwanese one where they were able to provide logistics support and helped push our potential business growth.
