Official Response

Due to recent activities that are in direct violation of our Code of Conduct, which is publicly available on our website, SparkFun has determined that it can no longer transact with Adafruit Industries. Please see the official communication we sent to Adafruit below. Without oversharing, recent violations include:

Sending and forwarding offensive, antagonistic, and derogatory emails and material to SparkFun employees, former employees and customers

Inappropriately involving a SparkFun customer with a private matter

We understand this may be frustrating. From time to time, we have to make difficult business decisions and this decision was made after thoughtful consideration. We wish Adafruit the best in future endeavors. Please note, SparkFun continues to embrace our strong reseller network - for SparkFun-original products, Teensy, and a multitude of other products. Please see our distributor map below.
