Innovation in distribution

It markets and distributes the industry’s broadest selection of components, test equipment and RoHS compliant solutions for design engineers and maintenance professionals throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. Newark serves its customers through multiple sales channels: a branch network, contact centers, dedicated field sales force and a world-class website.

A pioneer in electronics distribution, Newark published one of the first electronics catalogs in the industry. Today, the company’s huge iconic print catalog is still considered the industry’s best “go-to source”. Concurrently, Newark has been at the forefront of eProcurement, providing customers with expert support, global capabilities and “req-to-check” automation.

The name Newark pays homage to Newark, NJ, the site of the nation’s first and largest radio station. First established in 1934 as Newark Electric, a small shop in Chicago that sold radio parts, Newark today is part of one of largest electronics distributors in the world.
