Powell Electronics Europe

Powell Electronics, established in 1946, is a medium size, stable, informal but highly professional organization. We have several offices over the world where the office in Nieuwegein is the European headquarters

Powell Electronics is among the largest distributors of electronic components and value-added services. Our focus and expertise includes electronic connectors, switches, sensors, and related electro-mechanical products. For close to 60 years, we have brought a unique sense of purpose and vision to electronics distribution.

Our company was founded in 1946 by Harold H. Powell, who was a Navy electronics technician during World War II. After the war, Harold started selling components from his garage in response to the burgeoning post-war demand for electronics parts. Since then, the company has established an unbroken record of success as a specialty components distributor.

Today, we are a national company with a global reach, representing the most respected manufacturers. We employ a staff of over 200 people at 11 U.S. locations, and utilize state-of-the-art technology. We supply all industries, especially companies servicing key market sectors, including:

Military/Aerospace
Telecommunications
Transportation
Medical Imaging and Instrumentation
The United States Government
Still a family-owned company, Powell Electronics continues to be guided by our founding principles of honesty, integrity, ethical dealings, plus a sense of urgency for meeting our customers' needs.
