“Murata is proud to be recognized by Celestica,” said Rob Cook, Key Account Manager, Murata Electronics North America. “We feel that this distinction validates our drive to meet Celestica’s needs in providing leading-edge passive electronics component solutions at a competitive price to their global supply chain.”
