MITIGATING RISK THROUGH OUR ELECTRONIC COMPONENT SOURCING SOLUTIONS:

With extensive technical expertise, both within SMT’s component sourcing team and across our Group, we understand your component requirements. We can source a range of parts to overcome any sourcing, availability or quality issues you may be facing.

Drawing on more than four decades of expertise, our sourcing team works with defence and aerospace, medical and critical infrastructure customers to help them achieve their strategic component sourcing goals. We offer risk mitigation solutions for purchasing electronic components to ensure that production schedules are met and projects remain on track.

GLOBAL PROCUREMENT:

SMT has built an unrivalled network of trusted global suppliers of electronic components. Risk mitigation underpins our quality management systems and processes, adhered to at every stage in the sourcing and procurement of obsolete, end-of-life and hard-to-find components.

Counterfeit electronics mitigation begins with counterfeit avoidance. Where possible, our team endeavours to source product with OEM certificates and traceability. When that is not possible, we offer authentication through our world-leading lab.
