Symmetry Electronics Corp

Founded in 1998, Symmetry Electronics Corp quickly established itself as an emerging leader in electronics distribution by providing strategic business solutions to a broad base of customers in the Industrial, Medical, Audio/Video, Computer, RF/Wireless and Consumer markets. Symmetry Electronics saw unprecedented growth in terms of both sales and locations in its first 3 years and continued these trends throughout the industry downturn of 2001, increasing revenues more than 35% annually over the past 3 years. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, Symmetry Electronics currently employs a worldwide staff of more than 40 industry professionals in 16 locations, including Mexico and China. Differentiating itself from countless distributors in the electronics industry by focusing on high-tech and emerging markets such as RF/Wireless, Networking and Video Transmission solutions has been vital to Symmetry’s growth and stability in the ever-changing distribution landscape. Currently, Symmetry Electronics represents over 40 world-class suppliers from around the globe. Symmetry is the exclusive distributor for 5 of the lines it carries and continues to develop its line card to incorporate a wide selection of quality electronic components to more thoroughly support its customers. Symmetry’s early and continued success is due in large part to their strong demand creation team, of which 30% hold Electronic Engineering (EE) degrees, and a knowledgeable business development department that provides extraordinary service to customers across the globe. At a very early stage, Symmetry achieved ISO9002 certification and has continued to uphold the standards of that initiative, including making the change to ISO9001:2000 certification. At the same time, Symmetry developed an amazing worldwide design-tracking program to help tie procurement more closely with design activity.
