Level Solutions

What Level Solutions does

Level Solutions USA is an independent electronic component distributor founded in 1988 by Ron Jiron in Irvine, California and currently headquartered in Chino Valley, Arizona. The company specializes in sourcing scarce, obsolete, allocated, and end-of-life electronic components — including microcontrollers, processors, memory ICs, analog and linear circuits, power modules, and interconnects — from manufacturers such as Microchip, NXP, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Infineon, Maxim, Molex, and Murata. Its core platform is a 35-year-old global procurement network spanning 50+ countries, supported by a 4,000+ square-foot facility with ESD-safe handling and third-party authentication testing compliant with AS6081 and AS6171 standards, along with full traceability documentation.

The business operates a dual-revenue model: (1) transactional distribution of electronic components via a quote-based sales motion with 24-hour quote response, same-day or next-day shipping for in-stock items, and direct engagement with procurement, quality, and supply chain teams at OEMs, EMS providers, and ODMs; and (2) an excess inventory program that purchases surplus, obsolete, and end-of-life stock in bulk from manufacturers and OEMs for resale. Target customers span aerospace & defense, medical devices, automotive, industrial automation, telecommunications, and energy & power, with particularly deep alignment to regulated buyers given the company's AS9100D, ISO 17025:2023, ITAR, ESD S20.20, DLA, AS6081, and AS6171 credentials. The company remains founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent entity, and no public listing.

Revenue model

1. Electronic Component Distribution: Sale of electronic components including microcontrollers, processors, memory ICs, analog circuits, interconnects, and power modules. Revenue generated from one-time sales transactions with competitive pricing based on market demand and component rarity.
2. Excess Inventory Purchase and Resale: Company purchases surplus, obsolete, and excess electronic inventory in bulk from manufacturers, OEMs, and distributors, then resells tested authentic components at competitive prices. Generates revenue through margin between purchase price and resale value.
