Seoul-based distributor Websolus to handle broad range of GaN power transistors

GaN Systems, a developer of GaN power switching semiconductors, has announced the signing of a distribution deal with Seoul-based global group Websolus. 

Listed on the Korea New Exchange (KONEX), with 13 branch offices in Korea, China, and Thailand, Websolus specialises in three business sectors: IT Consulting & Systems Integration for Power Grid, Water & Energy systems solutions for Global Infrastructure, and Procurement & Distribution for Electronic Components. 

GaN Systems is the first company to have brought a comprehensive range of GaN power switches with current ratings from 8A to 220A to the global market. The distribution agreement with Websolus covers South Korea, China, and Thailand.

Girvan Patterson, President, GaN Systems comments: "We are delighted to be partnering with Websolus, which has in-depth knowledge of key customers in the region and will support them locally as they become early adopters of GaN devices in their new products.  The significant advantages offered by gallium nitride power transistors - smaller, lighter and far more efficient power electronics - will help drive innovation in the many products manufactured in the region, including consumer electronics."

Kim Hong-sik, CEO, Websolus stated "We are delighted to be partnering with GaN Systems, which has quickly become the leading choice for GaN devices among Tier1 companies in Automotive, Industrial, Enterprise, and Consumer segments. Our companies share a common objective of providing solutions which significantly improve energy efficiency.
