Pulse has presented Rutronik Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH with its "Best German Distributor" award. This award from the world's leading vendor of datacom and telecom technology, antennas and microphones recognized Rutronik's achievement in generating the top sales in Germany in 2010. The two companies have been working together successfully in Germany and France since as far back as
1993.

Rutronik achieved particularly strong sales with Pulse Power and LAN products in the prime target automotive and consumer markets. Design-in products accounted for over 60 percent of the sales generated. This success was founded on comprehensive on-site support from the distributor's Field
Application Engineers, Product Managers and Business Development department. "Thanks to the strong presence and proven expertise of Rutronik, we have been working together successfully for quite some time," comments André Resties, Sales Manager Central & Eastern Europe for Pulse. "We are
very pleased to be able to present this award in recognition of the continuous sales growth achieved by Rutronik."

The distribution agreement encompasses the complete Pulse product portfolio of antennas, telecom and wireless products, power components and connectors, as well as solutions for Smart Grids in France and Germany. "Pulse is a key partner for us, based on its wide range of LAN and Ethernet
products and its custom design facility," explains Markus Zühlke, Marketing Director Passive Components at Rutronik. "So we are proud to receive this award, and at the same time we regard it as an incentive to build on our success even further in future."
