Henkel Partners with JSK Associates for Representation in Western States


Henkel's electronics group has added to its extensive network of representatives and distributors in the Americas by signing on Santa Clara, California-based JSK Associates to represent the company in Northern California and Northern Nevada.

With over thirty-five years of electronics industry experience, JSK owner, Jerry Karp, will deliver the service, expertise and process knowledge Henkel customers have come to expect. Representing the leading Henkel electronics assembly brands of Hysol, Multicore and Loctite, JSK is confident that the Henkel addition to its offerings will bring great benefit to current and future customers.

"The depth and breadth of the Henkel portfolio are unmatched," says JSK founder and owner, Jerry Karp. "The company has consistently stayed ahead of technology advance, innovating for future requirements while also delivering on current demands and enabling customers to confidently incorporate Henkel materials into their process. Personally, I'm looking forward to being able to offer manufacturers the superior efficiency and performance synonymous with Henkel's electronics materials."

Not only do today's electronics manufacturers depend on outstanding materials to cope with modern requirements, but they also need a reliable, accurate and knowledgeable sales and service team from whom they can receive consultative advice and a quick response. According to Henkel's Director of Channel Management, Brian Betti, this is precisely what customers can expect from JSK.
