Smith & Associates
| About us | Founded in 1984, Smith&Associates pioneered the Independent Distribution business with a focused, 'can-do' approach. This customer-oriented approach requires a certain passion for getting the job done and it's what has earned us the reputation with our customers as the one to turn to in time of need. An Industry Leader. Smith&Associates has been ranked as the #1 ranked Independent Distributor three times by Electronic Buyers' News, Purchasing Magazine, and Electronic Business. Smith has also been listed on the Inc.500 as one of North America's fastest growing companies. And, Smith was listed as one of the 'Top 100 Private Electronics Companies' by Cahners Publishing. The Smith Advantage: Availability&Delivery. But, of course, everything boils down to superior product availability and expedient delivery: Availability - For Smith, availability is an established supply base that's fed by an ever-expanding worldwide network of OEM, EMS and distribution business partners. It's this global network along with our international presence that gives us access to high-demand and hard-to-find products. We know where the parts are and how to get them -- fast. Delivery - Smith has its own global logistics network that delivers components via a streamlined machine of logistics and efficiency. We are one of a few who offer QA-approved shipping and freight forwarding. Plus, we have an entire department dedicated to import, export and freight services. A Global Resource. Smith conducts business in over 20 languages from 7 different locations worldwide. Each location is connected, in real-time, to our international market information and trading systems that enable us to find the parts you need, when you need them. A Commitment To Quality. Of course, when you handle massive volumes of components, strict quality control is vital. Smith's Headquarters has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification and is committed to continuous improvement of customer service, including all aspects of quality and business processes. To ensure a product-safe environment, our entire facility is ESD-compliant and stringent quality-control guidelines and procedures are followed as orders make their way through shipping, receiving and the warehouse. |
