What March Electronics does
March Electronics is a privately held B2B electronic components distributor founded in 1972, headquartered in Bohemia, New York, with additional offices in DeLand, Florida; Palm Springs, California; and Busan, South Korea. The company distributes connectors, contacts, connector accessories, relays, switches, cable assemblies, terminals and terminal blocks, tools, heat shrinks, and film capacitors sourced from authorized manufacturers including Eaton (G&H Technology, Burton Aviation, Burton Subsea), TE Connectivity (Deutsch, AMP, Potter & Brumfield, Raychem, and other brands), Vishay Dale, Preci-Dip, Texcal Wire & Cable, Ulti-Mate, SPI Connects, Electro Adapter, Delta Electronics, and Continental Connector/Winchester. Its primary verticals are military, industrial, and commercial, with a particular emphasis on MIL-SPEC and QPL-certified products for defense and aerospace applications.
The business operates a traditional distributor model: orders are taken via RFQ submission, phone, fax, and email; pricing is not publicly disclosed; and revenue is generated through one-time product sales rather than recurring subscriptions. March Electronics differentiates through QPL-certified value-added services — cable assemblies, custom stamping, mechanical assemblies, bar code labeling, and custom kitting for Mil-C-38999, Mil-C-55302, Mil-C-28748, and Mil-C-83513 connectors — and holds the exclusive authorized stocking value-added distributor position for G&H Technology's D38999/Series IV Breech-Lok connectors. The company is ISO-certified, privately owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and shows no public revenue, headcount, or funding disclosures.
