SindoPower's parent company, The German-based holding company Semikron, employs 3,600 people worldwide. SEMIKRON comprises a global network of 35 companies with 10 production sites. Power electronics are produced in Germany, France, Italy, Slovakia, South Africa, Brazil, USA, China, India and South Korea. The company[2] has a 37% share of the worldwide market for diode/thyristor modules.
SindoPower was integrated into the Semikron Group in 2015.[3]
Products
editSindoPower’s product range consists of approximately 2,000 of overall 11,600 different power semiconductors from 1 kW to 10 MW, including chips, discrete diodes/thyristors, fuses, sensors, varistors, connectors, and power modules (IGBT, MOSFET, diode, thyristor) as an official distributor of Epcos, LEM, Mersen, SEMIKRON and Weidmüller.
eCommerce
editIn a market dominated by traditional sales channels, SindoPower's eCommerce model has features atypical for power semiconductor B2B's:
- public transparency in pricing
- Web 2.0 community approach for power electronics experts
- real-time customer service
- stock visibility and automatic substitute proposal for out of stock components[citation needed]
Customer care
editIn May 2012 Epcos, LEM, Mersen, Proton-Electrotex, Semikron, SindoPower and Weidmüller started the joined platform PowerGuru to centralize power electronics know-how at one place.
Location
editCustomers all over the world except from mainland China are handled by SindoPower GmbH. Customers from mainland China are handled by Zhuhai SindoPower Electronics Company Ltd.
