Gateway is privately owned, with owner-stakeholders determined to continue to differentiate its service by offering broad product solutions from high reputation manufacturers to customers seeking partnership engagement from their distributor vendor. Gateway, the distributor with a CanDo spirit! Our History The Gateway Journey Start of the E-commerce Journey 2004 - 2006 Gateway launches its first ecommerce platform www.thecomponentgateway.com to promote its stockholding of products from its franchised linecard of manufacturers. Gateway complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, (RoHS 1) by designing and maintaining a further level of quality audit procedures to its material procurement and inspection programme. New HQ! - 2009 - 2011 The quest for new premises is fulfilled and Gateway relocates to Innovation House, Nantwich, Cheshire, giving a 61% increase in office and warehouse space. For the next 2 years Gateway achieves double digit growth to realise market share gains to further strengthen its position as one of the best-in-class specialist distribution outlets for electronic components in the UK. Gateway continues to develop its operating systems capability and online presence with the launch of its second generation ‘Core-2’ operating system which accommodates multi-currency trading to better manage the currency environment with its suppliers and for its UK and overseas customers. The Very Beginning - 2000 Gateway Electronic Components Limited registered as a trading entity with Companies House. Gateway commissions the design, develop and implement of a bespoke operating system for the company to platform its transactional databases and interface these with the financial management system. Gateway secures the lease for its first premises at Unit 10, Huntsbank Works, Crewe. Accreditation Secured - 2001 - 2003 Gateway receives its first BS EN ISO9000:1994 accreditation from United Registrar of Systems. Since its first award Gateway has upgraded its accreditation status and now complies with ISO9001:2015. Ferroxcube and First Apprentices - 2017 Gateway is appointed as a UK franchised distributor by Ferroxcube, a global leader in high performance ferrite materials. The Ferroxcube range augments the portfolio of products already available from Gateway from manufacturers TDK, Fair-Rite and Magnetics Inc, and strengthens Gateway position as the largest stocking distributor of ferrite core products and accessories in the UK. Gateway employs its first apprentice intake, filling IT and Digital Marketing positions with some highly talented school and college leavers. The initial intake has now progressed to full time positions now making significant contributions to the company’s development. Three further apprentices have been employed in the company in engineering, IT and customer service roles and will all have promising careers with the company. The CanDo Man in a Kanban Van - 2013 Gateway secures a contract to manage the supply of products to its largest customers by implementing Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solutions on various customer’s premises. The contracts, comprising over 700 lines of electronic components shipped direct-to-line to Kanban stations on the customers production floors, delivered by Gateway staff on a twice weekly replenishments system, was tagged “The Cando man in a Kanban Van”. The solution has realized significant efficiency gains and thereby reduced total cost of ownership for those customers. Gateway appointed by TDK as its specialist magnetic components distributor for the UK. Gateway invests in significant stockholding of Ferrite products, and within 3 months develops and launches its second specialist sibling ecommerce platform www.theferritegateway.com to support the growing base of UK customers. Within the next 18 months Gateway increases TDK distributed ferrite sales revenues by more than 45%. Gold! - 2015 Gateway secures Silver status in the TDK Senten Manten awards in recognition of its achievement on meeting key business performance and customer service standards. The Japanese term Senten Manten means “perfect result”. Gateway is appointed by Siretta Limited as its UK specialist distributor to promote and sell its range of products for use within emerging IoT and industrial M2M applications in the ever growing smart-world, including wired and wireless network connectivity solutions, antenna, modems, routers and network signal strength analysis products. Gateway develops and launches its third specialist sibling ecommerce platform www.theiotgateway.com to promote and sell the product range. For the second year running Gateway receives recognition in the prestigious TDK Senten Manten awards programme, this time achieving a coveted Gold award, in recognition that the company’s specialist, service-led, differentiated and value-adding distribution ethos is of appeal to a broad customer base across the UK and increasingly into Europe. 2017 - The Machine Shop Gateway launches the Ferrite Machine Shop to provide a core gapping and machining service to support its customers that require bespoke dimensional and/or inductance values to meet their specific application requirements. The significant investment in infrastructure and machinery includes a dedicated Machine Shop environment within Gateway’s UK based headquarters, a 3-axis NC flatbed surface grind centre, and an enhanced operating system to provide a production works order solution that provides full batch traceability for all parts used within the machining process. 20th Year! - 2019 Gateway enters is 20th year of trading having developed a unique position in the electronic components supply environment as a specialist, differentiated and value-adding service-led distributor with a CanDo attitude capable of delivering standard and bespoke solutions to customers big and small, and able to facilitate total cost of ownership optimisation with its range of supply solutions and logistics programmes. 2018 - First Mini Mill Further Machine Shop investment is made by Gateway as it installs a new Haas Mini-Mill machining centre to be able to provide its customers with even more geometric and dimensional solutions to bespoke machining requirements. Gateway can now manufacture new core geometries from ferrite plate, block, rod, toroid, or button cores and has also developed an expertise to glue multiple geometries to custom-design assembled parts. The phrase “if you can dream it, we can machine it” is born. We've got the Power - 2018 Gateway launches a new sibling ecommerce brand www.thepowergateway.com to promote products for use in the improvement of power quality solutions and power factor correction, to help drive for efficiency, lower operating costs and faster returns on investment in the power generation, transmission and distribution sector.

CanDo Solutions From The CanDo People Gateway has designed a range of solutions to augment the product benefits of its linecard. Its goal is to help customers drive efficiencies into the way they procure products and then turn those efficiencies into advantages for their businesses. Gateway doesn’t only maintain stock for the brands it represents, but since inception, it has been working with global OEM and CEM accounts to design and implement a range of logistic solutions for its customers. It thus augments the product benefits of its linecard and helps customers drive efficiencies into the way they procure products. Customers have in the past reduced their total cost of acquisition, waste and downtime. With Gateway’s help, some have decreased their design-to-market time whilst upholding quality standards. Thanks to Gateway’s value-added solutions, customers realise their true production potential. Supply Chain Solutions More than two-thirds of the cost of component acquisition is attributable to non-components’ costs such as purchasing, planning and expediting; transportation and packaging; goods inwards inspection and receipt processing; warehousing and stock management; shortage resolutions and obsolescence management; residual and excess stock write-off; pre-production planning, kitting, component management, assembling and programming; and invoice processing and reconciliation. Gateway has a wealth of experience and management expertise in constructing supply solutions that focus on reducing the costs of acquisition. In parallel, we aim to keep a constant downward pressure on component prices through our product solutions programmes. Our analytic process allows customers to determine which items from the bills of material they want to include in the programme. They also tell us what support features would help them minimize work and costs. On our end, based on dynamic modelling, we assess demand patterns at line level to determine appropriate buffer stock levels, taking into account lead-time and demand vagaries. Then we structure a bespoke supply solution to minimise the amount of inventory needed within your business. Finally, we agree with you a replenishment pattern that ensures you have no production down-time. In addition, you can call product off using one of our electronic trading solutions (or even ask us to construct an e-solution matched to your specific needs), and have it delivered ‘direct-to-line’ on a ‘just-in-time’ arrangement. In line with our ESG guidelines, we use replenishable ‘green’ containers that we both deliver and collect so as to minimise the product handling within your premises. Find Out More Product Solutions On every major bill-of-material that we receive we take the time to analyse the list of specified parts to identify key packaging opportunities; risky single-source items; items in obsolescence; and potential areas for cost saving by recommending alternative sources. All of our key customer-facing personnel have in excess of 15 years industry experience. With the combined expertise of its senior staff and over a 100 years of combined industry service, Gateway is one of few companies that can boast such a wealth of knowledge. Gateway people know when something is possible and they always run the extra mile to make it happen. That’s why when a customer calls, they expect us to say “Yes, we can do that”, because invariably – we can! And if on the odd occasion the solution does not exist, our technical and engineering teams will work with the customer to design one. Gateway works closely with the technical support teams of the franchises that it represents and would be happy to organise demonstration days and seminars with customers’ engineering staff. Get In Touch Value Added Services Gateway offers a host of facilities to help smooth the flow of products through your production system, by fulfilling some of the pre-production tasks and having the parts ready for immediate insertion or assembly. Production Kitting: The correct components suitably labelled, in the correct multiples to match with your build plan. Designed to replace your own pre-production kitting system and let you concentrate on manufacturing and assembly. Component & Device Services These include cropping, pre-forming, marking, reeling, moisture sensitivity level packaging, re-baking and programming. Component Selection Services These include capacitor tolerance selection and dedicated LED binning. VMI & KANBAN Supply Solutions Product delivered directly to your production line-side locations on an agreed weekly frequency by Gateway fulfilment staff bypassing your goods inwards inspection procedures to ensure you never run out of stock, but never carry too much stock either. Cable Harness Design & Component Assembly Service Using our in house expertise or our associations with specialist cable and component assembly houses we can integrate this into the rest of our solutions packages to save you time, and money. Learn More Quality Solutions Gateway is committed to upholding the quality standards set out in the procedures of the accreditation bodies to which it belongs, but it also prides itself in providing solutions to generic and customer-specific issues where a viable solution can be designed. Inspection procedures at Gateway performs a rigorous and detailed inwards inspection process to all receipts made into its premises; but will offer customers enhanced inspection support to ensure that additional levels of standards are maintained, including enhanced visual inspection, testing, counting and marking services. Gateway will decant into customer-specified supply multiples; have product reeled or re-reeled; affix customer-specific labelling to product; and if required will house the parts in dedicated customer-specific locations. Gateway can offer electronic testing services to check for product provenance and integrity as well as offering a service to replace ROHS compliant plating or terminations with SnPb . All these services are governed by our stringent quality control and inspection procedures. Within six months of its inception in August 2000, Gateway gained BS EN ISO9001:2000 accreditation, and has since progressed through continual improvement to the new ISO9001:2015 standard. We see it as a testament to its quality systems programme and to its business management and bespoke operating system, developed in house by its team of Quality and Systems Support staff.
