Newark Electronics-Historically Providing Excellent Backup Support
While the average consumer may not be aware of the part Newark Electronics plays in all the high tech gadgets they know and love, chances are those products have at least one Newark Electronics component somewhere inside. Newark Electronics has become a global leader in electronics back-up and support. Newark Electronics is known primarily amongst design engineers, purchasing agents and maintenance professionals. Formerly Newark Electronics, now called Newark InOne, has been in the business of offering key electronics components through catalog sales for over 75 years. Newark Electronics has been around since the 1930’s and was originally named the Newark Electric Company. When the store was first opened, it was purchased for just a few thousand dollars. Today it’s a multi-million dollar global business. The then newly opened company took its name from the birthplace of the country’s first radio station; Newark, New Jersey. Originally owned by two brothers, the company started out in business by selling spare radio parts. In the next decade Newark Electronics produced their first catalog, a prototype of the now industry famous catalog. The first catalog produced by Newark Electronics featured over 100 products available by mail order. Beginning in 1960, the company went public and changed the name to Newark Electronics. Six years later the company was obtain by Cleveland based corporation, Premier Industrial. Since that time Newark Electronics has become a leader in electronic components. Today the company has locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil and is a leading national distributor in electronics components. The annual sales of Newark Electronics amount to over $1.5 million days. Quite a long way to come from a small shop located on Radio Row in the Thirties. Newark Electronics has continued to move along with the times and a few years ago began to offer their components on a website in addition to their famous catalog. The website offers everything the traditional catalog offers and in some cases more, such as live technical support and a powerful search engine for looking up components. This is a particular bonus for procurement specialists who want to be able to access and order information at any time of the day or night. As an added bonus, Newark Electronics now even offers a service that gives companies an opportunity to keep their stockrooms and inventories better organized.
