Anglia offers ex-stock, production-ready split reels of surface mount components
Wisbech, UK, 29 September 2011 – Anglia Components, the UK’s leading independent distributor of electronic components, today announced that it is offering ex-stock delivery of production-ready part reels on an initial range of over 1300 popular capacitors, discretes and connectors.
Commenting, Steve Rawlins, CEO of Anglia Components, said, “Anglia believes that customers deserve the best no matter what quantity they buy. Anglia Ready Reel offers split reel quantities with a full reel service, including full lot traceability. A Ready Reel is held in stock and labelled in exactly the same way as a full reel, and is ready to use on a production line right out of the box. We believe that this is an industry first.”
The unique Anglia Ready Reel service is believed to be the only one of its kind that offers ex-stock shipment of production ready split reels of smaller quantities each labelled with the original reel source giving traceability back to the point of manufacture. Anglia Ready Reel is initially being introduced across five of its most popular franchises: AVX, Diodes-Zetex, Hirose, Murata and Supertex. Ready Reel devices are pre-prepared in standard sub-reels of between 100 and 1000 devices, and supplied on production-ready reels with leader tapes. Ready Reel devices are held in stock at Anglia’s Wisbech warehouse for same-day shipment and labelled with the lot and batch details of the originating reel to provide full traceability.
Rawlins continued, “In the current climate, customers are keen to reduce costs and waste, and are increasingly unwilling either to throw away part used reels, or to try and hold onto them against potential future production needs. Many purchasing managers are now incentivised to reduce stock levels and try to buy the right quantity of devices for a prototype or small batch production run. Ready Reel is the perfect answer.”
The first components available on Ready Reel are AVX multi-layer and tantalum capacitors, Murata multi-layer capacitors, Diodes-Zetex discrete semiconductors and the full range of Hirose and Supertex products stocked by Anglia. Further components will be added to the range. Anglia splits the original reels supplied by manufacturers into Ready Reels containing between one-third and one-fifth of the original reel quantity, depending on the value of the device and anticipated demand.
