RW> TW> Allied History

RW> TW> Over the years, Allied Electronics has built an enviable reputation
RW> TW> as a distributor of electronic components.

RW> TW> Since our conception in 1928, Allied's main pursuit, and now our
RW> TW> legacy, has been providing excellence through customer service. Now,
RW> TW> as part of the Electrocomponents Group, Allied has added a global
RW> TW> presence to our customer orientation - the latest chapter in our
RW> TW> fascinating, eight decade history.

RW> TW> 1928: Allied Radio was established as the radio parts distribution
RW> TW> arm of Columbia Radio Corporation. The company was soon to become one
RW> TW> of the most recognizable names in the electronics industry.

RW> TW> 1932: The company built a growing business in marketing radio parts
RW> TW> and kits to home hobbyists, and was one of the first to sell
RW> TW> electronics through a catalog. In addition, Allied opened storefront
RW> TW> distribution outlets to reach more amateur ham radio operators and
RW> TW> experimenters.

RW> TW> 1941-45: Having survived the depression, Allied focused on the war
RW> TW> effort, primarily servicing government contracts and high-priority
RW> TW> industrial orders. Allied gained experience in the industrial arena
RW> TW> for the first time through government and military contracts, which
RW> TW> laid the groundwork for the distribution niche we occupy today.

RW> TW> 1946-60: The electronics industry exploded as new developments in
RW> TW> electronics were adopted on a widespread basis in commerce and
RW> TW> industry. Innovations such as television, industrial automation,
RW> TW> space technology and defense accelerated the need for electronics.
RW> TW> Consumer demand also grew as radio sets and components not available
RW> TW> during the war proliferated. During this exciting era, Allied gained
RW> TW> both the experience and specialized staff necessary to handle both
RW> TW> consumer and industrial sales.

RW> TW> 1962: The first industrial catalog for Allied Electronics, a
RW> TW> subsidiary of Allied Radio, was released. The company continued to
RW> TW> serve both amateur and professional ham radio operators as one of the
RW> TW> few places to locate that "hard to get" piece of
radio equipment.

RW> TW> 1970: Allied moved its headquarters from Chicago, Illinois to Fort
RW> TW> Worth, Texas.

RW> TW> 1981: Allied began the process of moving from an all manual system to
RW> TW> a fully computerized company. The process was completed in 1985.

RW> TW> 1995: Allied is the first electronics distribution company to come
RW> TW> out with a CD-ROM catalog and quickly followed-up by entering the
RW> TW> e-commerce arena with the launch of a web site.

RW> TW> 1999: Allied Electronics acquired by Electrocomponents of the United
RW> TW> Kingdom.

RW> TW> 2000 & Beyond: The combination of Allied's commitment to
a high level
RW> TW> of customer service and Electrocomponents' global reach delivers a
RW> TW> very powerful supply chain solution to meet future customer demands.
