SAGAMI: NEW AT CODICO

SAGAMI, an innovative Japanese coil and filter manufacturer, has signed a distribution agreement with CODICO.



System developers and procurement managers alike must face the music on a daily basis, regardless whether it's the customer or company management with whom they are dealing. And the tune is a familiar one: "I need a more reliable circuit, it must outperform the solution you came up with last time, and, of course, it should cost less (definitely not more!) too."

In order to help these troubled engineers and buyers along, CODICO decided to look around for a new partner for wire-wound products, though we knew it would be a challenge for any manufacturer to meet such stringent demands. Finally, we are pleased to announce that we have found just the right partner! In fact, based on SAGAMI's strong track record, we are confident that reliability, performance and low cost is not just a pipe dream, and we can't wait to convince all of you developers, designers and buyers out there!

Founded in 1956, SAGAMI today employs 4,600 dedicated individuals, and boasts of an annual sales turnover exceeding USD 100 million. The company has decades of experience "thinking in parallel" with the developers and procurement officers, to whom it sells
> HF Coils,
> LC Filters and
> DC/DC Transformers.

SAGAMI is an established supplier of the automotive and consumer electronics industries, with a monthly output of some 45 million wire-wound products manufactured in accordance with such international standards as QS 9000, ISO 9001/2000 and ISO 14001.



To complement its in-house "think tank" of 80 development engineers, SAGAMI has recently acquired production facilities in mainland China to significantly increase production capacity. To help customers turn the above mentioned demands into reality as quickly as possible, SAGAMI makes rapid availability of samples a top priority.



CODICO, too, has an in-house specialist to help customers meet their wire-wound needs as effectively and economically as possible. His name is Sven HEINEN, and he has been keeping abreast of the latest developments within this industry for many years now.

SAGAMI's new consolidated production facilities in Shenzhen went into operation in 2002, and the result has been a noticeable improvement in delivery efficiency. Cutting-edge manufacturing and testing equipment and a large, dedicated team of employees ensure that all orders leave the factory within the shortest possible turn around time. Before offering SAGAMI products to our customers, we at CODICO made sure that the company's delivery capabilities were indeed as impressive as they seemed, by sending our own team to Shenzhen for confirmation.

SAGAMI offers component demo boards and a 110-page catalog to all customers who wish to inform themselves about the company's products, and as a creative spark for new design ideas.

A quick call or email to CODICO on the subject of SAGAMI products is very likely to pay dividends, so please don't hesitate! After all, in times like these, who can afford to turn down an offer for highest quality products at a competitive price?

We are also including a fax response form in this issue of CODICO Impulse, if you would prefer to fax us.

The SAGAMI catalog and component demo boards are available from CODICO at no cost.
