LAS VEGAS, Nevada, May 26, 2026 - Bourns has named DigiKey its 2025 Americas e-Commerce Distributor of the Year. The recognition was presented during EDS 2026 at Resorts World Las Vegas. Bourns evaluates all Americas channel partners annually across a consistent set of performance criteria, including POS plan attainment, year-over-year revenue growth, inventory investment, orders, and shipments.
DigiKey has received the e-Commerce Distributor of the Year recognition five times since Bourns established the channel award program in 2014. The 36-year partnership is built on DigiKey’s position as a direct-to-engineer platform: engineers search, check live stock, and place orders directly at any hour.
DigiKey’s inventory depth and marketing activity raise Bourns' product visibility at the design stage, putting components in front of engineers when they are specifying parts.
“When an engineer pulls a Bourns part at the design or prototype stage, DigiKey’s inventory depth is often what determines whether that project moves forward that day or waits a week. 20% over the POS plan and 11% year-over-year growth is what happens when the stock is consistently in place. Five times in 12 years is not a coincidence.”
— James Harrington, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Bourns
