"Quality Has No Finish Line"


World Micro, Inc. is proud to present our Quality Program. Our consistent quality of services, parts, and component integrity is "not" an option, nor is it an accident. It is a by-product of deliberate actions and strategic decisions World Micro has made to become the premier cutting edge Distributor leading the pack with Quality initiatives, which has enabled us to become a trusted "Approved Vendor" to companies such as Apple, TIVO, Scientific Atlanta, General Dynamics, Adtran, Avnet, Sanmina -SCI, Jabil, and thousands of other Contract Manufactures and OEMs.

Many companies "talk" about quality...but the execution often lacks, or is just talk. In the Independent Distribution business quality "MUST" be a requirement, due to the influx of counterfeit parts and shady vendors. How do you the Purchasor of Electronic Components protect yourself? We believe that is our job. Following are cutting edge initiatives we have taken that have proven effective in delivering consistent Quality of parts and service to our customers:
