Counterfeit Detection Service

Advanced Power Componets PLC has been a key supplier of electronic components to the defence and aerospace sector for over 25 yeard supplying components into the majority of the UK`s defence and aerospace programmes.

Over 10 years ago APC created it`s Locator division, a semi-independant organisation focused on supplying obsolete or hard to find semiconductor products for applications where component reliability is of the utmost importance.

APC Locator`s presence in the market has grown significantly in response to the increasing number of problems associated with the influx of counterfeit products into this market sector. This has resulted in the creation of a multi-stage testing process designed to identify and reject counterfeit product from the supply chain before they reach the customer.
