Company Description

Digi-Key holds more than one key to electronics distribution. One of the top distributors of electronic components in North America, it supplies some 2 million products to 170 countries worldwide. Products range from A to Z (AC line cords to zinc-oxide non-linear resistors), and the company prides itself on same-day service for 99.9% of its orders, all from one facility in the US. Digi-Key uses an entirely in-house sales force and does business by means of telemarketing, the Internet, and both print and downloadable catalogs. Founded in 1971 by CEO and owner Ronald Stordahl, Digi-Key takes its name from the ham radio digital electronic keyer kit he developed and sold in college.
