Wilmington, Mass. (PRWeb) August 07, 2019 -- Heilind Electronics, a premier distributor of electronic components worldwide, officially announced the opening of its newest distribution center in Mentor, Ohio.

This extensive real estate will accommodate Heilind’s growing inventory, which includes items from over 150 manufacturers. In addition, the facility has room for expansion as the company grows.
