Bourns and TTI Celebrate 40 Years of Strategic Global Distribution Partnership

Bourns, Inc. has announced the celebration of a remarkable 40-year distribution partnership with TTI, Inc. The collaboration dates back to 1985, when TTI began focusing on supplying passive components to the North American market. Over the decades, the two companies have not only navigated evolving market conditions and industry consolidation but have also emerged as global leaders in the electronic components space. Today, TTI distributes the full portfolio of Bourns products worldwide.

Bourns has long prioritized delivering top-tier support and service excellence to TTI, actively participating in TTI’s Supplier Excellence Award Program. Thanks to continuous process improvements, high-quality product offerings, on-time delivery, and best-in-class customer support, Bourns has received TTI’s prestigious Global Operations Excellence Award eight times over the award’s 14-year history—an achievement that underscores Bourns’ commitment to global performance excellence.

Gordon Bourns, Chairman and CEO of Bourns, stated:
"We take great pride in the trusted, enduring, and productive relationship we’ve built with TTI. This partnership has enabled us to deliver advanced application solutions and technical support to our shared global customer base. From the beginning, Bourns and TTI have shared a mutual goal—providing the highest quality products and outstanding service to help customers gain a competitive edge. Our close collaboration has consistently delivered on that promise, and I am confident we’ll continue to achieve even greater success together."
