PCB People’s strategic collaboration will provide unrivalled value and choice for customers.
PCB People are delighted to announce a new strategic partnership in collaboration with Astute Electronics, one of Europe’s largest distributors
Astute was founded more than three decades ago by CEO Geoff Hill to bridge the gap between broadline and independent distribution in the European supply chain. Headquartered in the UK, still privately owned, and with strategically-located offices now stretching across five continents, Astute has evolved into a global technology solutions player offering reliable cradle-to-grave component support throughout the entire product life-cycle.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for our industry as it combines Astute’s vast product offering, with PCB People’s expertise in printed circuit board manufacturing, delivering a unique offering for customers.
For the first time customers can choose what is most valuable for them and tailor our offering to suit their needs. Whether this is working directly with PCB People or adding one of Astute's many value added propositions into a total solution.
This strategic collaboration will offer all PCB technologies catering to the unique needs and preferences to Astute vast customer base. Whether it’s 2 layer, multilayer, or Rigid Flexi HDI, customers can expect nothing less than the highest quality and exceptional service synonymous with both companies.
Total Solutions
Trusted for over three decades, Astute are a global franchise distributor for more than 70 of the world’s premier electronic component manufacturers. Together, we deliver the first truly comprehensive solution for our customers.
Global Warehousing
In today's rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, local stock availability is crucial for our customers. Our combined warehouse network spans three continents, offering flexible stock holding solutions for up to a year.
Better for the Environment
Manufacturing a BOM across multiple countries and purchase orders has a significant environmental impact. By producing in larger quantities and consolidating shipments, you can greatly reduce your carbon footprint and promote more sustainable practices.
PCB People’s Managing Director Ryan Pellow states “Our business is focused on providing customers with innovative solutions to help enhance their supply-chains and our strategic partnership with Astute epitomises that. Combining our extensive PCB knowledge with Astute’s broad product range provides customers with a complete solution that we feel is the first of its kind. Not only does this provide strong commercial advantages, but it also enhances the sustainability of supply-chains and improves efficiencies. The foundations of this collaboration are based on our shared passion for transparency and traceability which is becoming ever more important for customers. Combining our expertise here provides customers with a unique solution; one we are looking forward to discussing with customers”.
This collaboration between PCB People & Astute marks a significant milestone in the PCB industry. By combining our technical knowledge and factory-management expertise with Astute’s sales insight and stockholding capabilities, we deliver unmatched value to our customers.
“We are delighted to welcome PCB People to the Astute family,” said Andrew Quigley, 3PL Sales Director at Astute. “Their dedication to Printed Circuit boards and their community align perfectly with our values, and we are confident that they will excel in delivering our brand promise to our customers worldwide”
