Components and samples are supplied within 24 hours from the central warehouses in Germany and France.
Würth Elektronik has been active in Belgium with local employees since 2006. This is now followed by the conversion into a separate national company. "The foundation of the new company is a logical step in the positive development of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group in BeNeLux. This creates the basis for further growth," said Thomas Schrott, CEO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group, on the occasion of the foundation of the Belgian sales office. The Country Manager is Dimitri Verhaert, who has established Würth Elektronik in the Belgian market with growing success since 2006.

It’s Only Common Sense: Storytelling That Sells—Stop Pitching, Start Painting Pictures
09/15/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet me tell you something that most salespeople — even the ones flashing Rolexes and bragging about crushing their quotas—still haven’t figured out: Facts don’t close deals, stories do.

Every time a new tool shows up, half the sales floor panics: “They’re going to automate us out of a job!” This is shouted while doomscrolling LinkedIn. Relax. Sales is still, and will always be, about human connection, trust, and delivering value.

08/12/2025 | Daniel Beauvois, The Component StoreBefore 2020, we approached sales differently. A persistent, gritty salesperson could approach businesses daily without an appointment. They would often be turned away, but sometimes, they would be given a shot. Then, in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became official, and things started to shut down. When we finally came back, everything had changed, creating an impenetrable barrier for outside salespeople.
