Traceability

Safe, traceable sourcing of currently available EEE components

Our rigorous quality management system means we can:

• Demonstrate the pedigree of every part 
• Trace and document all processes from procurement to sales 
• Mitigate the threat of counterfeit or unapproved components 

Why Princeps?

Princeps has been providing safe, traceable electronic, electrical & electromechanical (EEE) components under our Princeps PRIME and PRIME+ service levels since they were first introduced in 2008. 

Traceability is essential within the industries we serve, because the risks posed by counterfeit parts is catastrophic. Our global network of thousands of manufacturer-authorised sources ensures our client’s orders come direct from the manufacturer, whether this is for board level EEE components, COTS assemblies or even consumable items.

Which Princeps service is right for your business?

Princeps PRIME

• Overcome local shortages by utilising our global network of manufacturer authorised sources nurtured over the last 15 years
