Your continued success, even during the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, remains paramount as we are fully operational at all Digi-Key locations worldwide. The entire Digi-Key global team is working tirelessly to provide the world’s broadest selection of electronic components in stock and available for immediate shipment. We have partnered with customers all over the world who are adapting and innovating with solutions positively impacting the frontlines during this crisis.

We applaud your efforts and will continue to support you by providing safe, secure, reliable service. The safety and health of our team members is of utmost importance, and we are operating under aggressive sanitation and disinfection procedures.

Approximately 2,300 Digi-Key team members around the world are working from home and continue to support you

We have developed an Ultra-Violet (UV) light tunnel to disinfect totes passing through our conveyor system

We have developed disinfecting foggers to sanitize surfaces

We are fogging inbound trucks before we handle receipts as well as outbound trailers

We are pausing to "Take 5" (minutes) to clean and disinfect work stations every two hours

We have enhanced order fulfillment processes to decrease potential interaction

We are equipped with masks and observing all recommended personal hygiene and social distancing suggestions

We do this, while remaining highly focused on upholding the same levels of inventory, customer service and fast, reliable service you have come to expect from Digi-Key.

Sincerely,

Dave Doherty
