About Jameco Electronics
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
Jameco has been a leading
electronic components distributor for over 50 years. We've helped millions of customers from businesses to educational institutions to hobbyists and along the way we're proud to have built a solid reputation for great prices, great selection, and a great source for hard-to-find electronic components. Jameco's buying expertise allows even the smallest company or individual to enjoy the same competitive pricing edge typically reserved for the highest volume buyers.
Jameco is the only electronic components distributor to give customers a true choice. Jameco offers more than 35,000 of the industry's most popular name-brand components, but what sets Jameco apart is our vast range of in-stock Jameco branded products that are up to 60% less than name brands.
HISTORY
Jameco Electronics was founded in 1974 in Silicon Valley by Dennis Farrey with a vision of delivering exceptional value in electronic components to customers. What began as a small startup with a modest 1/3-page advertisement in Radio Electronics magazine has grown over the past 50 years based on Mr. Farrey's founding principle of an unwavering commitment to customers.
Today, Jameco Electronics remains dedicated to that original goal by sourcing high-quality products and offering competitive pricing to meet the needs of engineers, hobbyists, and professionals in industries ranging from consumer technology to industrial automation. For nearly five decades, Jameco has built its reputation on valuing long-term customer relationships above all else.
Jameco has years of experience in dealing directly with manufacturers throughout the world. Because of its direct connection and long history with these manufacturers, the company gets the lowest possible price for the highest quality products.
In 2004, Jameco introduced its first branded products:
The
ValuePro™ line of passive, electromechanical and interconnect products
The
ReliaPro™ line of power supplies, fans and motors
The
BenchPro™ line of professional-grade workbench tools
The
KitPro™ line of educational and hobbyist electronic kits
In March 2005, the company bought the most recognized robotics website,
RobotStore.com. This strategic acquisition added to the expanding product portfolio offered to hobbyists.
In July 2008, Jameco launched a state-of-the-industry website with the ability to instantly search on and compare products by virtually any specification or feature.
