Abacus is one of the leading electronic component distributors in the UK - providing an extensive portfolio of semiconductor, passive, electromechanical and interconnect components. We are part of the Abacus Group which has offices and commercial partners throughout Europe. Abacus (formerly Abacus Polar) was founded in 1972 to offer a high level of service to our customers via a network of regional offices. This philosophy is maintained today and as Abacus has developed, we have not only increased our regional office structure but have added additional services such as technical design support, logistics services and sub contract assembly. The core of the business is still firmly embedded in component distribution and with over 180 franchises from major international manufacturers, Abacus is certain to be able to support the most complex project. Abacus has several dedicated teams focussing on key technologies, including Abacus LED - LED distributor, Abacus Switch - component switch distributor, Abacus Batteries - battery distributor, Microcontrollers and many more. We are also able to support new franchise product requirements via our Global sourcing partners.
