The Toronto-based company, Bittele, specialises in prototype and low-volume printed circuit board (PCB) assembly.
In announcing the move to expand its sourcing operations, Bittele said its service will now include cross-referenced and substitution parts which are sourced from a wider network of suppliers in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, mainland China, and other Asian regions.
The company has also invested in the development of its procurement services by expanding both its supplier network and its capabilities for sourcing cross-referenced and equivalent substitution parts. The company hopes this will help its customers to save time and money.
Commenting on the move, Ben Yang, general manager of Bittele Electronics, said: “Tough sourcing problems are one of our specialties. Bittele realises our clients need a reliable business partner who can guarantee production lead times. The expansion of our Hard-To-Find Part Sourcing is another example of our commitment to the success of our customers.
“Bittele has its own unique global IC [integrated circuit] sources. ICs made in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, mainland China and other Asian regions can often be readily sourced. Obsolete, long-lead time and other hard-to-find electronic components can be located from our extensive supplier network.”
