Powell Electronics has brought a unique sense of purpose and vision to electronics distribution. Right from the start, when Harold Powell founded the company in 1946, our company has been guided by principles which recognized that availability of the right parts at the right time was the foundation of our service..but only the foundation.Powell's unbroken record of growth and success has made it one of the world's largest independent distributors of electronics components and value-added services. That growth has been due in no small measure to the company's unique ability to not only meet, but anticipate the needs of our customers and markets - needs that go substantially beyond effective inventory management and availability.Powell recognizes that in-depth product and application expertise, instant accessibility to that intelligence and other information by our customers, the availability of custom assembly, sub-assembly and other value added services, and a corporate-wide commitment to quality that ensures the uncompromising accuracy of all these elements are all absolutely fundamental to our success. We recognize, too, that as our economy..our business..our markets..our customers. ..continue to evolve, we must stay tuned to all those changes.
