DUBAI, UAE – Oct. 23, 2026 – PRLog — Maketronics, a global sourcing partner for obsolete, end-of-life (EOL) and hard-to-find electronic components, today highlighted its sourcing support for industries where equipment stays in service far longer than its components stay in production: aerospace, defence, military, medical devices, industrial automation and automotive.
Semiconductor lifecycles typically run 7-10 years, while industrial and medical systems are expected to operate for 15-25 years. When a part is discontinued, authorised distribution closes and buyers are pushed into a fragmented secondary market where counterfeit exposure is higher. In these sectors, a single unavailable part can halt a production line, delay a repair or ground a fleet.
Industry coverage
- Aerospace: Obsolete ICs and components for avionics and ground systems that must be supported for years.
- Defence and military: Military-grade ICs and components for legacy platforms where redesign is costly and slow.
- Medical: Medical device and medical-grade ICs for equipment that remains in clinical use long after parts are discontinued.
- Industrial: ICs, sensors, PLC modules, HMI systems, industrial panel PCs, DC-DC converters and relays for automation lines.
- Automotive: Automotive ICs, microcontrollers, memory and power management ICs.
“In aerospace, defence and medical programmes, a part can’t just be swapped for the next best option. Buyers need to know the part is genuine and traceable before payment is released. That is how we structure every transaction.”
How risk is controlled
Availability is confirmed through a restricted, tiered supplier network in which suppliers are ranked on historical performance. Every shipment goes through controlled receiving inspection, covering packaging verification, marking consistency checks, dimensional validation and 30–100x digital visual inspection. Inspection depth is set by supplier history, part criticality and application sensitivity. Where risk is elevated, parts are escalated to accredited third-party laboratories operating in alignment with AS6081, AS6171 and ISO/IEC 17025. Payment release and shipment approval depend on the inspection outcome.
Maketronics is ISO 9001:2015 certified, holds AS9120B certification, and is an ERAI member. It has served industrial buyers in 17 countries.
