The challenges are both global in scope and local in focus. At the same time, the adoption and expansion of new technologies is driving exciting growth opportunities across a range of markets. ECIA is engaged in continuous research covering the electronics component supply chain to provide valuable visibility for its members.

The Industry Mourns the Loss of a Leader

ECIA joins in mourning the loss of a true industry leader, James R. Kaplan. 

In 1961, James joined Cornell Dubilier Electronics as a field engineer in Los Angeles. After advancing through the organization, Jim became president in 1978. Over the years the company has expanded and is now a leader in the provider of capacitors. James was active in the electronics industry and ECIA specifically, receiving the industry's honor in 2015, the Gail S. Carter Lifetime Achievement award. Read more.
