ALWAYS COMPETITIVE - WITH CURRENT ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AS WELL AS OBSOLETE & HARD-TO-FIND COMPONENTS

INDEPENDENT STOCKING DISTRIBUTOR

- An Independent Distributor operates on a brokerage business model and buys and sells semiconductors and many other electronic components on the "open-market" much in the same way other commodities are traded. A customer places an order and an Independent Distributor sources the product based upon availability and inventory. This means Independent Distributors can provide product quickly which is particularly advantageous when a customer is trying to reduce excess inventories or meet production deadlines and does not want to have a production line down.

FRANCHISE VS. INDEPENDENT

- A Franchised Distributor has formal agreements to buy and sell specific Manufacturer product lines at set prices with agreed upon lead times. And, they must do so for delivery on specific dates and, sometimes, for sale within limited geographic regions. - An Independent Distributor does not have formal agreements with any specific manufacturer. This provides flexibility in purchasing from a variety of sources all over the world with no regional restrictions. An Independent Distributor also purchases and resells excess and obsolete inventories

EMW INTERNATIONAL VS. ANY BROKER

- EMW International, as Independent Distributors generally stock product, offer their customers credit terms, provide value-added services, honor manufacturers' warranties, provide RMA services, have strict quality assurance, and supply more than just obsolete components.
-Brokers act as agents, have no inventory, and buy stock from other suppliers. Brokers will have a longer lead-time, and of course mark –up the stock again to make sure of a commission. In the end the OEM pays a premium and gets the parts a few days later at best.

Top-level Independent Distributors, such as EMW International, invest significant resources to expand infrastructure, search out new connections, and develop relations with the worldwide markets. These investments enable us to grow our businesses with long-term plans and alliances to create a promising future. To make handling situations involving obsolete parts and long lead times as routine as setting up the production line to begin with.
