Digi-Key Corporation
 PROFILE
Digi-Key is keen on electronics distribution. The company distributes electronic components to businesses and consumers in the US and Canada. Digi-Key uses an entirely in-house sales force, and does business by means of telemarketing and a catalog featuring more than 180,000 products from over 240 manufacturers (such as Panasonic, Switchcraft, and Texas Instruments). Digi-Key products, ranging from AC line cords to ZIF sockets, are also available through a downloadable catalog featured on the company's Web site. Founded in 1972 by CEO and owner Ronald Stordahl, Digi-Key takes its name from the ham radio digital electronic keyer kit he developed and sold in college.
