“Alliance Memory has done a great job keeping us supplied with low-power SRAMs for one of our very largest customers,” said Pin Hsu, purchasing manager at Wellex Corp.

Challenge/Solution
At Wellex, the company’s overriding goal is to enable its customers to get their products to market at the best possible price. Achieving that goals means having component suppliers that not only deliver superior product but are willing to work with Wellex to hold the line on prices. When the company’s Korea-based SRAM supplier went EOL on a 4M low-power SRAM for which the second source was a pricier device sold through a distributor, Alliance Memory stepped in—first as secondary source and then as primary source for the IC.

From the Customer
“Alliance Memory has done a great job for us over the past three years in keeping us supplied with low-power SRAMs for one of our very largest customers and in making us feel very appreciated—including working with us on a direct-customer basis,” Pin Hsu, Purchasing Manager at Wellex Corp. “It makes a big difference to know we can get parts at the price we need delivered locally to our facility, instead of waiting for them to come from a warehouse half way across the country or around the world. That’s a major plus for us.”
