30 years of finding
the unfindable
Arrow Lakes started in 1994 as a small parts brokerage with a simple philosophy: pick up the phone, find the part, deliver it fast.
Arrow Lakes is a family-owned electronic component distributor headquartered in Connecticut. For over 30 years, we've been the team engineers call when no one else can find the part.
When an engineer calls looking for a component that's been discontinued for five years, we don't check a database and say sorry. We pick up the phone and call the people we know in Shenzhen, Munich, and Dallas. Usually we have an answer the same day.
As an American, family-run business, we take relationships seriously. Our global supplier network includes trusted partners in China that we've worked with since the early 2000s. These aren't anonymous brokers. They're partners we've visited, vetted, and done business with for decades. That's the kind of trust you can't build overnight.
From our Connecticut headquarters, we serve medical, military, aerospace, automotive, telecom, energy, and industrial customers nationwide and globally. The compliance landscape is different for each one, and we know the rules cold. ISO 9001, AS9120B, ITAR, FDA. Your audit team will like us.
What makes us different
We pick up the phone
You'll never get a ticket number from us. Every customer talks to a real person who knows their account, their industry, and their deadlines. That's not a perk. It's how we've always worked.
We find what others can't
Obsolete, allocated, long-lead, discontinued. These are the problems we've spent 30 years solving. Our network of global contacts means we know exactly who to call.
We move fast
Most RFQs come back same-day. When your line is down or your project is behind, we treat your urgency as our own. Speed isn't a feature. It's the baseline.
We've earned the trust
Three decades of delivering on promises. ISO 9001:2015, AS9120B, ITAR registered. Full traceability on every shipment. Your compliance team already knows our name.
