The Arcum Group was founded in 1994 to offer customers a range of electronic and IT products and business services. There are four trading companies within the group and the professional approach of each organisation makes them leaders in their industry sectors. Each company benefits from the business support offered by a group structure, but is given the autonomy necessary to work quickly and efficiently with their customers. The companies are -
Inelco Hunter Ltd - a leading distributor of specialist components and provider of engineered solutions in display and thermal printing
Challenger Components Ltd – a specialist supplier of connectors, fans and blowers and static control products
Electronic Frontier Ltd – a leading distributor of datacomms, security and networking solutions
Hunter Cable Assembly Ltd – a specialist subcontractor for cable assembly, wiring harnesses, cable looms, box builds and sub-assembly.
Excellent reputation
The Arcum Group has grown quickly through acquisition and today has more than 50 employees. There are plans for ambitious growth over the next few years which will further establish the group’s excellent reputation as a quality and innovation led supplier.
Specialist distributors
Working as a group of distributors, Arcum companies add value by offering a range of specialist products and services. By marketing the latest technologies and services the group can offer a competitive advantage through helping to reduce their customers’ supplier list, resulting in a more efficient and cost effective sourcing process.
Ideal location
The group’s headquarters in Theale, Berkshire provides warehousing and offices for Arcum, Electronic Frontier and Inelco Hunter. Hunter Cable Assembly is located east of the main head office in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and Challenger Components operate from purpose built offices in Sittingbourne, Kent. Each of the companies is ideally located to support a wide customer base throughout the UK.
Diverse customers
Arcum Group companies operate predominantly in the UK and Europe but can support suppliers and customers worldwide if required. They work with clients in a variety of sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, education, medical, security and telecommunications. Highly skilled and experienced staff in the group offer expertise in many areas including sales and marketing, logistics, sub and system assembly, technical knowledge and design.
Innovative business
Its role as the holding company allows Arcum to add key skills and knowledge to the group organisation. It helps with current and future market intelligence, marketing and sales support, finance, and logistics. The group’s approach to business means that each of the four sales companies actively strives to innovate and create demand in their markets rather than simply responding to their customers’ existing needs. The group’s decentralised organisation helps with this proactive approach and each company is given the autonomy necessary to ensure that they meet or exceed the specific needs of their local market.
