LONDON — Thermal management specialist Fischer Elektronik has signed a franchise distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics that covers northern Europe.

The deal covers the U.K., Republic of Ireland, the Nordic region and the Baltic States and builds on the relationship that Fischer and Arrow have enjoyed in Denmark for a number of years.

Arrow Electronics' PEMCO (Passive, Electromechanical, Connector, and Cable and Wire) division will supply and support a variety of Fischer Elektronik thermal management products including extruded and stamped heatsinks, heatsinks for DC/DC converters and transistor heatsinks.

Chris McAneny, Arrow's northern European marketing director, said, “We have grown our business with Fischer every year in Denmark and expanding the agreement to cover the rest of northern Europe is the next logical step in evolving our business relationship.”
