Libra Industries, a privately held electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, is pleased to announce that it recently presented Future Electronics with its fourth annual Strategic Partnership Award. Libra Industries’ President and CEO Rod Howell presented the award to Norm Lelless – Sales Manager, and Steve Kemer – Strategic Account Manager. Future Electronics is a worldwide leader in electronic components distribution, and is recognized as one of the most respected and innovative companies in the industry today.

Libra Industries has collaborated with Future Electronics over the past year, and in that time the company has seen 99.7 percent on-time delivery, and more than $22,000 in savings on material purchases.
