Solving obsolescence
for 30 years
Components go end of life every day. Manufacturers discontinue parts with little warning, and suddenly your production line depends on a component nobody stocks. We have been solving this problem since 1994.
What EOL really means for your business
When a manufacturer issues an end-of-life notice, it means no more production runs. The part transitions from active to NRND (not recommended for new designs), then to full discontinuation. For companies building products with 10, 15, or 20-year lifecycles, this creates a serious problem.
Legacy components become scarce. Prices spike. Counterfeit risk increases as desperate buyers turn to unverified sources. Without a strategy, you are left scrambling, overpaying, or worse, redesigning under pressure.
Five steps to bulletproof your supply chain
Lifecycle Monitoring
We track product change notifications (PCNs) and end-of-life notices across thousands of manufacturer lines. When a part you depend on gets flagged as NRND or discontinued, we know before it hits the open market.
Last-Time-Buy Strategy
Once an EOL notice drops, the clock starts. We execute last time buy orders fast, leveraging direct manufacturer relationships to secure allocation before brokers drive prices through the roof.
Bridge Stock Programs
Not ready to redesign? We procure and hold bridge stock in climate-controlled storage so your production line keeps running while your engineering team evaluates alternatives on their own timeline.
Cross-Reference Qualification
Our sourcing team identifies form-fit-function replacements using manufacturer cross-reference databases, parametric matching, and 30 years of tribal knowledge about what actually works in the field.
Long-Term Storage
Components stored in our ESD-safe, humidity-controlled warehouse with full lot traceability. Moisture-sensitive devices get dry-packed to manufacturer specifications. Your stock stays production-ready for years.
