What EPS News does

EPS News is a B2B digital news publication focused on electronics purchasing and the global electronics supply chain. It serves electronics procurement professionals, supply chain executives, and electronics component manufacturers and distributors, providing coverage of supply chain disruptions, trade policies, component availability, logistics, and procurement best practices. The publication operates at epsnews.com and is owned by AspenCore, Inc., a US-incorporated diversified media and technology company that markets itself as "a worldwide innovation hub servicing component manufacturers and distributors with unique marketing solutions." EPS News is positioned within the broader AspenCore Network alongside sister titles including EE Times, EDN, Power Electronics News, Embedded.com, ElectronicProducts, Datasheets.com, and EEM.

EPS News does not offer a distinct software product, SaaS platform, or technology module based on the available data. Its core offering is editorial content — news articles, newsletters, video, and podcasts — distributed through a multi-channel footprint that includes LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, and Bluesky for social distribution, Apple News and Google News for aggregator reach, and an email newsletter managed via DragonForms. Multimedia extensions include branded video and podcast programs such as "Silicon Grapevine" and "Wine Down Friday" hosted on the AspenCore YouTube channel. Content is also syndicated across the wider AspenCore Network, giving the publication cross-property reach into engineering and purchasing audiences.

As a B2B trade publication, EPS News follows the conventional ad-supported media model for vertical trade press. Specific pricing, rate cards, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The underlying revenue mechanics of the AspenCore parent — described as offering "unique marketing solutions" to component manufacturers and distributors — imply a mix of advertising, sponsored content, lead generation, and marketing services directed at the electronics component supply side, with EPS News functioning as a targeted channel into the purchasing and supply chain buyer audience within that stack.

Regional players

Broad incumbents

Comparable as a B2B information destination for purchasing professionals, though broader in scope and operating with a directory/data model rather than news publishing.
