If your current broker is quoting an obsolete military part, chances are, the product comes from us.

Today: We currently have 62,641 references comprised of everything from military grade Integrated Circuits to Commercial grade resistors and connectors!

2004-Present: Inventory acquisition moved into the forefront of our business goals in response to the needs of our clients. We improved and expanded our warehouse facilities improving on our ESD and Storage Systems while growing our inventory.

1998-2003: The strategy of purchasing bulk inventory speculatively continued as Oxygen acquired product from Thomson CSF, ABB, Ericsson, and Philips as well as a host of others. Oxygen Electronics’ policy is to purchase surplus only from organizations that have stringent guidelines for product handling to ensure that every item in inventory is of pristine origin. At the close of 2003, the number of line items in inventory topped ten thousand.

1997: Oxygen Electronics purchased the assets of Alliance Electronics Distribution based in Arizona. This acquisition of thousands of military semiconductors with manufacturer traceability included products manufactured by Analog Device, National Semiconductor, Motorola, and Zilog.

Over the past couple of years, the independent distribution channel has suffered a crunch in cash flow. As a result, the funds available to purchase "lots" of inventory have diminished. At the same time, the OEM and CEM community has realized there is a great opportunity in turning surplus and obsolete inventories into cash.

The business model that generates the highest rate of return is the consignment model, whereby a qualified independent distributor invests the time and effort to organize a "Lot" of inventory in a controlled distribution warehouse while the OEM/CEM continues to own the product.

With more than 2,600 competitors in the spot market for electronics components, opportunism has always run rampant. When you’re selling components the offer price is always too low and when buying components the buy price is always too high. Transactions are looked at as nothing more than a transaction.

Throughout its history, Oxygen Electronics continually made a commitment to an Account Management Strategy eliminating the opportunistic transaction and focusing on a long term business relationship. We recognize that if we deliver a quality product at a competitive price on time this time, we will have earned the opportunity to compete for the business the next time!

Our Account Management Strategy teamed with our internal information systems allow us to seamlessly integrate with our clients. The result of this merger provides for a primary point of contact at Oxygen Electronics but also allows anyone at Oxygen to respond to the specific needs of a specific client. By doing this, we have enabled our OEM client base to:

• Downsize the number of vendor relationships maintained.
• Have a partnered Overseas Purchasing presence.
• Efficiently purchase cost effectively.

Our Account Management Strategy provides our staff with the flexibility to offer product samples, datasheets, valuable product information, and Bill of Material analysis.

Simply put, our Account Management Strategy is our way of saying that we are here for the duration.
