America II and Cliff Electronic Components Announce Global Distribution Agreement
St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) March 05, 2015 -- America II Electronics, Inc., one of the world’s largest distributors of semiconductors and electronic components, today announced it has entered into a global franchise distribution agreement with Cliff Electronic Components, a leader in the design, development and manufacturing of components and connectors used in the audio, engineering, instrumentation, medical, lighting and vending industries.
“Last month, The Semiconductor Industry Association announced that our industry posted record sales in 2014,” said Brian Ellison, president at America II Electronics. “With additional growth projected for this year, America II believes the global semiconductor market can reach $500 billion in the next five years.

Their product portfolio will further enhance our line card, allowing us to offer more complete solutions in essential markets and applications.”
Under terms of the agreement, America II will have global distribution rights to Cliff’s complete line of components including connectors, switches, fans and blowers, power modules, circuit protection, audio jacks, cords and cables, motors, and speakers.
