| Company Background |
| Founded in 1997 by an experienced team of industry experts,
IC Trends has become a leading independent distributor of IC's,
passives, discrete, interconnect products, memory, OEM products,
peripheral products and computer related components. The company
has built its foundation on skilled leadership, operational excellence,
and a dedication to customer service unparalleled in the industry.
IC Trends has become an indispensable partner to some of the
world's largest high-tech manufacturers by providing a variety of
purchasing alternatives through a global network of domestic and
overseas suppliers. This flexibility of worldwide sourcing ensures our
customers the best possible pricing on electronic components as well
as confident access to components if a shortage situation exists.
This is particularly important for customers requiring components or
assemblies that are price-volatile commodities or difficult to source. |
