Easby Group

What Easby Group does

Easby Group Limited is a UK-based specialist electronics company operating as a franchised distributor of electronic and electromechanical components, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Catterick, North Yorkshire, with a warehouse and distribution facility in Richmond. The group serves OEM and Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) purchasing teams with a catalogue of over 100,000 products spanning batteries, semiconductors, displays (TFT, LCD, OLED, E-Paper), electromechanical components (relays, connectors, switches, terminal blocks, contactors), IoT/connectivity modules, lighting, passives, power supplies, and sensors, sourced from franchised manufacturers including Holtek, Hongfa, Telit Cinterion, Geniatech, Raystar, EVE Energy, EnerSys, and Duracell.

The business operates a sales-led, B2B go-to-market model with quote-based pricing, same-day despatch from a UK warehouse, and technical collaboration provided by Field Application Engineers and a dedicated Product Management team. The group is organised into multiple subsidiaries: Easby Electronics (core component distribution), Delta Impact (technical distribution), EasbyEV (EV charging infrastructure components), Delta Matrix, and the acquired Matrix Electronics (kitting and supply chain solutions). Distribution is conducted through direct sales (phone, email, online quote request) and the company's own e-commerce storefront.

In March 2022, the company underwent a management buy-out backed by NVM Private Equity LLP at a £24 million valuation, and in May 2023 acquired Matrix Electronics to extend its offering from pure distribution into kitting and replenishment services. The business holds Cyber Essentials certification and operates primarily in the UK market, with claims of global continuity of supply through its franchised manufacturer relationships.
