World Micro, a global distributor of electronic components serving the electronics, commercial, military, medical, and aerospace markets, has signed a distribution agreement with interconnect systems specialist Sullins Connector Solutions (San Marcos, CA).

"Naming World Micro to our roster of North American distributors is a critical step in Sullins' strategic plan to broaden both international and domestic distribution channels," commented Wade Harb, CEO of Sullins Connector Solutions. "World Micro's impressive record of achievement in uncovering opportunities for connector sales in markets we've targeted for superior growth potential made them a logical choice."
