“I’ve been a Mouser customer for more than 20 years, but I had no idea that such a facility existed,” Imahara said. “I guess I knew there was something behind it all but never thought about it. Just like everyone else, you know, you order parts from Mouser and they arrive the next day…but this is truly astounding.”      

Mouser and its employees go to great lengths to ensure a seamless and hassle-free buying experience for all of its customers, with award-winning customer service.      

“It's impressive and absolutely massive,” Imahara said. “I am particularly impressed how parts move swiftly and efficiently, and how important accuracy is to the process. Seeing the operation like this makes me doubly proud to be a partner with Mouser in our new Empowering Innovation Together^TM campaign.”      

 “We are pleased Grant is impressed,” said Smith, “but all of the shelves, the boxes, products, conveyor belts, and state-of-the-art wireless equipment is here for one thing, and one thing only - customer service. Bottom line, it’s about speed, accuracy and best-in-class customer service, and we never let ourselves lose sight of those goals.”
