FAQ
Concentric Silicon is a global semiconductor distributor supporting OEMs, EMS providers, and manufacturers. We source and deliver semiconductors and electronic components with a focus on three outcomes: on-time delivery, requirements met, and verified quality.
We support constrained, allocated, and end-of-life components across major manufacturers, helping customers maintain continuity in volatile markets.
We combine quantitative market intelligence with our own capital to do four things differently:
1. Our stock is priced to move.
2. We buy your EAU upfront. We purchase and warehouse parts against customer purchase orders, then release them on the customer’s production schedule. This preserves working capital and secures supply.
3. We buy ahead of demand. Our models identify parts likely to tighten before the broader market reacts. We use those projections to decide what to put in our warehouse.
4. We take principal risk. Most inventory at traditional distributors is already spoken for by a purchase order or near-certain demand. Ours is the opposite: we buy before a customer pull exists, carry the inventory on our balance sheet, and hold it until the market tightens.
Every component we supply passes through our inspection laboratory under risk-based procedures before shipment.
For fully traceable material, we verify documentation, quantity, packaging, labels, date codes, moisture-sensitivity level (MSL), and electrostatic-discharge (ESD) requirements. When traceability cannot be established, our enhanced counterfeit-mitigation process adds 100% packaging and visual inspection, dimensional verification, XRF material analysis, X-ray inspection, remarking and resurfacing tests, decapsulation when required, and solderability testing on request.
These controls operate within our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9120B-certified quality system and AS6081-compliant procedures, with controlled handling and transaction traceability maintained throughout. The result is documented, lot-specific evidence that parts are authentic, compliant, and ready for production.
We are certified to ISO 9001:2015 + AS9120B, and are compliant to AS6081. We hold SAE G19-D membership and are registered with ITAR and GIDEP.
Quality is the ethos at the core of how we operate. From supplier qualification to verification in our in-house lab, every step of how we source, inspect, and ship is designed to ensure the part that reaches your dock is worthy of your line.
We distribute a broad range of semiconductors and electronic components, including integrated circuits, memory devices, microprocessors, analog components, passives, connectors, and other active and passive parts.
Our focus is on anticipating where supply is going, building inventory ahead of emerging shortages and price moves rather than reacting to them after a purchase order arrives.
We serve the world’s leading manufacturers across consumer electronics, automotive, industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, telecommunications, and medical devices.
Our team works closely with procurement and supply chain leaders to meet sector-specific technical, compliance, and delivery requirements.
Concentric Silicon is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with offices in Los Angeles and San Jose, California; Guadalajara, Mexico; Gurugram, India; Munich, Germany; Singapore; Dubai; and Tel Aviv, and warehouses in Texas, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Munich.
We ship internationally and coordinate logistics across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
