Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently observed the 35th anniversary of the opening of the company's branch in Connecticut.

Future Electronics, founded in Montreal in November of 1968 by Robert Miller, President, expanded into the United States in 1972, opening its first American office in Boston, Massachusetts. The Connecticut office opened in 1983.

Connecticut has a diverse electronics market, with strong companies in the communications, industrial, lighting, medical and military industries. It also has state-of-the-art contract manufacturers that do an excellent job of supporting local businesses and keeping production within the state.

"Future Connecticut works closely with our customers, from their design stage all the way through to full production," said General Manager Jerry Di Lillo. "Our goal is to earn our customers' trust and be responsive and flexible to their needs. When we help our customers achieve their goals, we're also successful in meeting ours."

Company president Robert Miller congratulated the Connecticut team on the occasion of the branch's 35-year milestone, and thanked everyone for their dedication.
