The company will present its full range of supply chain solutions and diverse service offerings
As ongoing shortages continue to disrupt the entire semiconductor supply chain, we are eager to connect with current and prospective clients to explore ways we can alleviate their difficulties.”— Mark Bollinger, Chief Administrative Officer at SmithHOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Smith, a premier global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors, today announced its participation as an exhibitor at electronica Munich 2026, the foremost international trade fair and conference for electronics. Scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, through Friday, November 13, at Messe München, this gathering unites distributors, manufacturers, and leaders throughout the semiconductor supply chain.
“electronica Munich is an excellent venue for evaluating, discussing, and resolving current market challenges,” said Janos Boszormenyi, Vice President, EMEA at Smith. “Customers across every sector are increasingly experiencing the effects of multiple commodity shortages and are seeking strategic allies to stabilize their supply chains. We look forward to engaging with attendees and showcasing our capacity to provide the electronic components, services, and intelligence they require.”
Held biennially, this conference and trade show enables companies to unveil the newest technologies, products, and solutions within the semiconductor field. With over 3,500 exhibitors and 80,000 visitors anticipated, electronica Munich acts as a hub for specialists from the entire electronics industry to convene and pinpoint lasting answers to major challenges.
Central to the discussion are the persistent shortages that have dominated much of this year. More than six shortages have impacted the semiconductor sector over the last five years, and the situation is deteriorating. The AI and data center expansions that have consumed a large portion of memory supply this year continue to extend their influence, disrupting supply chains for CPUs, GPUs, storage devices, and other vital commodities.
Smith representatives will be present in Hall B5, Stand 341 each day to explain how the company’s forward-thinking procurement solutions, adaptable service options, and quality-focused innovations support clients in shaping the future of technology. Additionally, the company will host a series of podcasts with Supply Chain Connect on Wednesday, November 11. These podcast segments will outline effective strategies for navigating the open market and will feature prominent members of Smith’s leadership team, including:
• Todd Burke, Chief Commercial Officer, and Lindsey Garland, Vice President of Global Account Management, who will address how procurement teams can utilize market intelligence to make better-informed purchasing decisions.
• Mark Bollinger, Chief Administrative Officer, and Todd Snow, Chief Procurement Officer, who will offer a worldwide viewpoint on recent shifts in the compliance landscape and share advice to help organizations better safeguard their supply chains.
• Juri Reckow, Trading Manager, Munich, and Janos, who will analyze the challenges faced by automotive companies during the 2021-2022 shortage and how their procurement programs have evolved to respond to the current market.
“We are thrilled to return to electronica Munich and engage with companies across various industries and sectors,” said Mark. “As ongoing shortages continue to affect the entire semiconductor supply chain, we look forward to meeting with both established and potential clients to discuss how we can ease their challenges.”
