Below is an obituary from Wilmington’s Heilind Electronics:
WILMINGTON, MA — Heilind Electronics, a leading global distributor of interconnect, electromechanical, and sensor solutions, has been named Distributor of the Year by Molex for 2025. The award recognizes Heilind’s outstanding sales performance, deep inventory investment, and a close, collaborative relationship focused on delivering value to customers across North America.
The Distributor of the Year honor reflects the strength of the partnership between Heilind and Molex, built on close alignment between sales organizations, shared customer engagement strategies, and a unified focus on solving complex application challenges. Through coordinated efforts, the two companies have expanded their collective reach across key markets, including industrial automation, transportation, datacom, and medical electronics.
“Heilind has demonstrated a strong commitment to execution, collaboration, and customer support,” said Jennifer Paukert, Vice President of Global Distribution at Molex. “Their ability to align closely with our teams, invest in inventory, and respond quickly to customer requirements has made them a trusted extension of the Molex organization.”
With one of the largest inventories of connector products in North America, Heilind maintains a strong stock position across a broad range of Molex solutions to support immediate availability and ongoing production demands. Heilind’s sales organization works closely with Molex to identify opportunities early in the design cycle, support application-specific requirements, and ensure customers have access to the right products at the right time, from initial design through full production.
“Being named Molex Distributor of the Year is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the hard work our entire organization puts into this partnership every day,” said Brandon Clountz, Vice President of Sales at Heilind Americas. “Our teams are deeply committed to delivering the connectivity solutions, supply assurance, and technical support that help customers keep their projects moving forward.
