I like the part that 40-50% of their business ships a "value added" product. These guys will push Sand products. Sales of $3 billion too isn't bad. Their parent VEBA, is huge and can lead Sand into International markets. Some things about WYLE: Wyle plays a leadership role in specialized value-added services. Today, approximately 40% of all products we ship include a value-added service. We offer customers a complete pathway of value-added services. These range from the traditional distributor function such as kitting and autoreplenishment, through fully integrated just-in-time inventory management systems, to master distribution relationship advantages. These value-added services are designed to enhance the competitiveness of our customers by providing time-to-market and cost efficiencies. wyle.com In August 1997, Wyle was acquired by VEBA AG, the fourth largest company in Germany. VEBA Electronics is a leading distribution and services group with worldwide activities. This merger established a leading multinational force in electronic components and computer products distribution with combined sales of approximately $3.0 billion. Today, Wyle offers its products to customers from a network of over 35 dedicated sales locations. wyle.com
