 "Since the invention of the micro-processor, the cost of moving a byte of information around has fallen on the order of 10-million-fold. Never before in human history has any product or service gotten 10 million times cheaper--much less in the course of a couple decades. That's as if a 747 plane, once at $150 million, could now be bought for about the price of a large pizza."

Institute | Introduction
 Arcadia Components is a leading
global independent distributor of electronic components
-- with full certification and registration to both the
ISO 9001 and SAE Aerospace
AS9120 quality standards, membership in
ERAI since 1998, and a prominent role
on several industry quality standards creation and oversight committees. For
Arcadia, "electronic components" include LCDs; drives; and the
entire spectrum of devices that are placed on printed circuit boards,
including all semiconductors such as processors, controllers, and memory
devices; all passive devices such as capacitors and resistors; and all
connectors.
Arcadia specializes in providing CMs
and OEMs a
compelling alternative channel for sourcing MRP-based
requirements for electronic components
in order to save money vs. traditional channels of supply. Arcadia also excels at
sourcing back-ordered, allocated, and obsolete electronic components that can hold up manufacturers' scheduled production runs.
Arcadia is not franchised for any particular manufacturer brand(s) of
electronic components; by extension, it is not precluded from carrying brands
for which it is not franchised, as is the
case with most franchised distributors. The resulting independence means Arcadia can taps its
extensive network of OCM, OEM, EMS, authorized distributors and other suppliers, the Arcadia Global Sourcing Network™,
to avail more brands and more part numbers than any franchised distributor in
the world.
