We are proud to announce that Princeps Electronics is celebrating 20 years of trading, this year marking two decades of supporting our customers with dependable procurement solutions for mission-critical and high-reliability applications. As a UK specialist in secure sourcing and supply of electronic, electrical and electromechanical (EEE) components, we've built our business on trust, transparency and technical rigour.

Since we established the business in 2006, we've built our reputation by helping organisations source safe, traceable, obsolete and hard-to-find components, while addressing the risks that can undermine modern supply chains, including obsolescence and the threat of counterfeit parts. Today, we continue to serve advanced sectors where quality, provenance and reliability are essential, including defence, aerospace, medical, transportation and other high-tech industries.

Andrew Green, Product & Capabilities Manager comments on this milestone, "At 20 years, we're not just celebrating age, we're celebrating the trust that our customers have in us every day. Our focus has always been about doing things the right way, combining quality processes, transparent communication and proactive problem-solving to ensure that critical supply chains are kept secure."

A trusted partner for secure procurement

We support customers through a broad range of services designed to reduce risk, improve continuity and simplify procurement, including:

  • Traceability and traceable stock sourcing, supported by a global network of manufacturer-authorised sources.
  • Specialist sourcing for hard-to-find and obsolete parts, with risk-mitigated approaches for open market procurement.
  • Obsolescence management and mitigation, including BOM monitoring to provide early warnings and continuity planning.
  • Counterfeit component mitigation, supported by in-house inspection and advanced test capabilities and a structured avoidance programme.
  • Kitting services, delivering production-ready kits direct to assembly locations to streamline manufacturing and reduce hidden costs.
  • Tail management, helping organisations consolidate supplier bases and create a single point of contact for EEE procurement.

Underpinning these services is our commitment to recognised quality frameworks, with AS9120 and AS6081 certifications forming part of our assurance-led approach to secure component procurement.

As we enter our third decade, we remain focused on helping customers navigate evolving component lifecycles, increasingly complex global sourcing challenges and heightened expectations around traceability, compliance and supply chain resilience.
