What is an Independent Distributor
An independent distributor is a stocking and / or sourcing distributor which is not bound by manufacturer’s rules, regulations, pricing or legal times. We understand that delivering your components is the most important part of placing an order, so we intend on getting it right the first time. Independent distributors stock and/or source the products customers need regardless of the approved manufacturer. Some independent distributors also have the capability to source the entire world enabling them to acquire products with greater speed and efficiency.
Stealth Components is a stock and source distributor doing business on the electronic component open market. Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, Stealth provides allocated, hard-to-find, standard long lead time, and obsolete components to manufacturers whose normal procurement process has failed to produce a much needed part. Because Stealth is an independent distributor, Stealth uses its vast network of trusted suppliers to source those components needed by its customers. Stealth’s main objective is to eliminate our customers’ procurement problems in an effort to increase their productivity.
Currently, we supply components to manufacturers in the following industries:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Consumer Products
- Contract Manufacturers / Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS)
- Energy Systems & Controls
- Industrial Automation / Electronics
- Measurement Technology
- Medical Device
- Military & Defense Industries
- Telecom
- Welding
