Smith Relocates Its Amsterdam Sales Office and European Distribution Center

Smith’s new locations in The Netherlands offer room for expansion in one of Europe’s tech hotspots 

Houston, TX (June 25, 2018) – Smith, a global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors, today announces the relocation of its European distribution center. This completes the two-part relocation begun in late 2017 when the company moved its European headquarters to a new space in the heart of Amsterdam. These new locations provide Smith room for expansion and a strategic base of operations in one of Europe’s leading tech hotspots.

Amsterdam is a hotbed for IT and technology companies and has a strong startup presence, with players in the aerospace, energy, smart-tech, and other expanding fields based there. The city and its surrounding regions are also home to many major manufacturers and other longstanding Smith customers. The new distribution center offers 30,000 square feet of operational space to support these customers’ varied inventory management needs, bolstered by the localized support of the sales office.

“The Netherlands is a vibrant part of Europe’s tech scene, and our new sales and operational locations put us right in the middle of the growth,” said Mark Bollinger, Smith’s Chief Globalization Officer. “We’re excited to keep expanding in this region, strengthen Smith’s European presence, and work closely with current and new local partners to deliver the tailored service and procurement they need to succeed.”

The Amsterdam sales office is located at:

Smith & Associates Europe B.V.
Alpha Tower
De Entree 45, 22nd Floor
1101 BH Amsterdam
The Netherlands

The new distribution center is located at:

Nijverheidsweg 2
