The Premier Electronics facility is undamaged and all employees are safe, but as a responsible corporate citizen, Premier Electronics is working with the local community to find ways that it can contribute and assist in efforts to rebuild the area.

In addition, Premier Farnell will match donations received by its global employees to designated charities, including CCTF (China Children and Teenagers' Fund) that are helping with the earthquake relief efforts.
