P&S Information has notified some customers that STMicroelectronics plans to terminate their distribution partnership, and the two sides are discussing termination details and business transition arrangements, according to chip supply chain sources cited by Cailian Press. During this period, P&S Information's supply of some ST products may be affected by ST's supply arrangements.
Contacted by Cailian Press, P&S Information said it currently distributes over 100 original manufacturer brands and adjusts business lines annually based on downstream demand feedback. A source close to the company said P&S has stopped quoting ST products; industry insiders said P&S had already reduced ST business well before.
ICgoodFind Summary: ST's termination of its distribution partnership with P&S Information comes as P&S has stopped quoting and already scaled back related business. Distributor lineup adjustments are not rare in the distribution industry, and P&S's portfolio of 100+ original manufacturer brands gives it room to absorb a single brand change through business line switching.
