  • Catalogue companies such as Premier Farnell Limited or RS Group are now the Amazon of the components industry, listing thousands of products online. They sell small volume but at a massive disadvantage to price. Often inflating the prices to cover their own costs. But there aren’t just the big catalogue companies listing online.
