Effective July 1st, 2025, Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. has appointed Matrix Electronics Limited as its Authorized Distributor in the European region.
Matrix, with Headquarters in Canada and USA, has five (5) Rapid Response Warehouses in North America. After the closure of Panasonic Industrial Devices Materials Europe GmbH (Enns factory, Austria), at the end of 2025, Matrix will re-organize the supply of Panasonic Circuit Board Materials and is planning to establish a similar Rapid Response Warehouse model in the Staufenberg, Germany region.
Founded in 1975, Matrix has been in business for over 50 years and is the largest Value-Added Distributor of Printed Circuit Materials in North America. We are delighted that Panasonic has chosen us as their partner in Europe, and we are very excited to build new customer relationships in this region,” says Kieran Healy, President of the Matrix Group of Companies. “We understand some of the challenges that the European economy is facing, including rising energy costs and global trade tensions. As a family-owned company with a strong and consistent customer focus, Matrix will strive to help our customers overcome these challenges. We have built our reputation on customer loyalty and collaboration.”
“Over the next few weeks, we will be reaching out to each Customer, to formally introduce ourselves. Our plan is to exceed our customers’ expectations, with proper forecasting and our logistics model. I look forward to building new personal relationships with our European Customers,” says Jeff Cassell, Vice President of Sales.
