Mouser Electronics celebrates 60th anniversary

Much has changed in the electronics industry since 1964, but Mouser has remained dedicated to providing the newest technology to customers as quickly as possible.

Mouser Electronics president and CEO Glenn Smith, who joined the company in 1973, attributes Mouser's success to the hard work of the Mouser team and its dedication to providing best-in-class service.

I congratulate all Mouser employees, past and present. We would not be here today without the exceptional teamwork of our people. They are the backbone of our longevity. Each of us continues to play an important role in making our company thrive, said Smith. Together, we have accomplished great things, and we are far from finished.

I always tell employees that satisfied customers' made their paychecks possible, Smith added. Our customers and manufacturer partners are a big part of Mouser's success story. We are extremely grateful for their patronage and partnership through the decades.

A lot has changed since college junior Glenn Smith took a part-time job in the warehouse of what was little more than an electronics startup near San Diego back in the early 1970s. He was one of just 12 employees. Over the past five decades, Smith helped build the small company into the top-10 component distribution giant that Mouser is today, serving over 650,000 customers and distributing the newest semiconductors and electronic components from over 1,200 manufacturer partners.
