In most designs, 70% of the components are simple passives, basic connectors and semiconductors. Whilst being low cost in themselves, they can represent a high logistical cost if supplied as part of a free issue kit. We offer the option for you to provide key silicon along with other specialist components and we will fill in the gaps from our standard stock or through our normal procurement activities.

Supplier Network

Norcott operates with a supplier network of some 350 companies. Our procurement policies require that all electronics components are normally purchased from franchised distributors. This ensures maximum integrity in the supply chain for both RoHS compliance and protection against 'old revision' and counterfeit product.

Purchasing from 'grey market' or non-franchised distribution is only undertaken with the full knowledge and consent of our customers.

In all circumstances our component tracking systems provides full trace-ability from built product back to the component source.

RoHS Compliance

At Norcott EMS we can manufacture both compliant and non-compliant product as required. We operate a multi-level system to ensure the RoHS compliant components are clearly identified both in stores and on the shop floor.
