Grounded Corporate Headquarters, Middleborough, MA in a century long tradition of innovation and service, our Distributing Confidence® business model goes beyond fulfillment to provide our customers and suppliers a unique combination of operational excellence and innovative business solutions that enable them to get their products to market FASTER, EASIER, and BETTER. A Proud Tradition of Innovation and Service Sager Electronics began in 1887 as a single storefront in downtown Boston that serviced the growing interest in radio technology. Under the vision and leadership of Joe Sager, the company rapidly Sager Store Front, Boston, MA established a statewide distribution system for home radios and related components. To further stimulate demand Sager sponsored a weekly musical radio show and, in 1926, Sager developed the format for play-by-play broadcasts of the Boston Bruins' hockey games. Despite the onset of the Great Depression, Sager continued to grow by bringing new electrical products to Massachusetts' consumers. From Retailer to Distributor At the onset of WWII, Sager reacted to the critical demand for electronic components. State-of-the-Art Distribution Center, Middleborough, MA The company refocused its operations to supply electromechanical components to the U.S. military. This transition positioned us to emerge as the leading regional distributor of electronic components at the beginning of the consumer electronics market in the 1950's and 60's. From Regional to National Prominence Anticipating the explosive growth in electronics, in 1977, we relocated our headquarters to more spacious facilities in Hingham, MA and began building a national network and infrastructure. This included the prudent acquisition of smaller regional distributors and the creation of regional support facilities to service our expanding network of customers and suppliers. Sager now services our growing customer base via our headquarters in Middleborough, MA, a national network of field account representatives, and strategically located service centers. Our state-of-the-art Distribution Center is located in Middleborough, MA, and we have expanded our distribution capabilities with logistic locations in Santa Ana, CA, El Paso and Laredo, TX and East Troy, WI. From National Prominence to Distributing ConfidenceŽ Throughout our long history, the key to our success has been our constant commitment to exceeding the expectations of our customers. In an industry increasingly preoccupied with consolidation, Sager has been quietly redefining distribution. Our unique Distributing ConfidenceŽ business model puts our customers' needs at the center of all our activities. From our customized services to our branded line card of Distributing ConfidenceŽ Suppliers, Sager Electronics has become a full partner with our customers with the common goal of bringing their products to market FASTER, EASIER, AND BETTER.
