1st Alert, VENKEL LTD. - October 2010

Greetings:

Hi and welcome to the October 2010 issue of 1st Alert.

In this month's issue we are alerting customers of a new product offering - a 0201 resistor array. Please see below for more details and links.

We're pleased two announce two new service offerings: the Venkel Blog and Live Chat on venkel.com. See below for more information.

A quick word regarding lead times: in a recent issue of 1st Alert we discussed increasing lead times and that has not changed for most part. We will be updating everyone as changes occur in the market and advise.

Once again, we appreciate all of your input and patronage. Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Nathan Bailey
Director of Engineering

New Services: Blog and Live Online Chat

The Venkel Blog

We've recently launched The Venkel Blog. It's a team blog with several Venkel personnel blogging from various areas of the organization. We will cover industry news and content, as well as Venkel company news. We hope that it's of value to both engineers and purchasing roles within your organization. As a service to you we will include links to engineering-related posts from the blog in this newsletter. I would still recommend subscribing to the blog however to receive all industry and company posts as well as content as it's released (compared to this monthly release which moving forward may serve as a digest for engineering content).

Here's a noteworthy post from the blog:

EIA Standard Resistance Values - Thin Film Chip Resistors

We're just getting started, so look for increased content as we move along.

Live Chat

In order to better serve our website visitors we also recently launched a live chat feature. It provides ultra-quick access to our Account Managers as well as our Engineering Department for any quick questions from our website. You'll see a link in the top right-hand corner of every page of our website (and any place else where it might be helpful hopefully).
