Our operations expanded in 2010 with a logistics branch in Hong Kong, and in 2017, we established our headquarters in Estonia. With over three decades of collective experience, our leadership team has extensive backgrounds in electronics distribution across Europe and North America, having held key positions and successfully managed inventory disposal programs at major distributors. Pietro Karjalainen, with a rich history in Sales and Marketing from the 1980s, including roles at ITT Multicomponents (like Farnell Electronic Services and Arrow), pioneered and managed an Excess and Obsolete inventory disposal program. Although Pietro now holds a supervisory role at 360 Components, he remains pivotal in strategic oversight. Kristiina Karjalainen, since 1997, has specialized in electronics component brokering, focusing on serving OEMs with obsolete and hard-to-find products and managing excess inventory disposal activities. She currently directs Sales and Purchasing for our Finnish and non-Asian clientele. Huong Le, based in Vietnam, expertly manages our Vietnamese and broader Asian customer base, ensuring tailored services that meet the region-specific needs.
