Farnell expands electromechanical portfolio through partnership with Hongfa

The partnership will introduce high-quality relay and switching technologies to Farnell customers across EMEA, expanding choice and improving availability for design, maintenance and repair engineers.

Hongfa Europe will work closely with Farnell to support the rollout, ensuring efficient service, streamlined product introductions and reliable technical support ahead of the full range becoming available online in early 2026.
