Amplicon, still fabulous at 50!
Celebrating a milestone birthday can be either full of anticipation or one to dread completely!
January of 1973 saw the launch of Amplicon Electronics, a specialist technical distribution company. Our name Amplicon came from AMPLIfication and CONversion the key skills of our original founders.
Some fifty years later, whilst very successful in the key objective of staying in business for at least 2 years, Amplicon is still going strong. We’ve weathered many storms, recessions, changes in our business model, and even a management buy-out.
Amplicon continues to leverage its technical product and applications knowledge to differentiate its offering to the marketplace. In our recent history, we have fully returned to our engineering roots and now boast a state of the art manufacturing facility at our Brighton headquarters.
