'WE ARE obsessed about adding value at the speed of thought," Vick Aggarwala, president and CEO of Supreme Components International (SCI) says, to describe his company's raison d'etre.
Indeed, high-tech electronic components distributor SCI has grown from strength to strength by constantly striving to provide outstanding and rapid service to its clientele, bagging three consecutive Enterprise 50 awards from 2011 to 2013, and the SME1000 award for the last five consecutive years.
Business was not always smooth sailing for SCI, which from 2001 was involved in the purchase of electronic components from other independent distributors for resale on an ad hoc basis. By 2005, it was clear that such an operating model was neither profitable nor sustainable, with the firm facing stiff competition from global distributors. In addition, SCI found it difficult to ensure that its components, which were acquired on the open market then, were of excellent quality.
