Established in 1996, The Broker Forum was the first and has become the largest online trading centre dedicated exclusively to Brokers and Distributors in the Electronic Components Industry. Since its conception, the Broker Forum has led in both technology and innovation whereby, we have introduced many features that have revolutionized how Distributors and Brokers do business on a daily basis. Features such as the Request For Quotes on-line, Exact Match and the Escrow account, to name a few, have saved many companies substantial communication costs and have helped in managing their time more efficiently; a valuable commodity in a fast paced environment. Moreover, due to the size of membership and its international appeal, many companies have taken advantage of the opportunity in opening their doors to the world.

The Broker Forum focuses on what counts; having a vast inventory of electronic components that generates thousands of new business opportunities daily, in addition to providing you with the largest single community of Distributors and Brokers on the internet today! Moreover, you will gain access to our professional staff of Sales and Customer Support who are always on hand to service you 24 hours a day and in 20 languages!

What distinguishes the Broker Forum from other on-line trading centres is its simple marketing strategy. Provide our potential clientele with a free 15 day trial membership, monitor their usage throughout their trial so as to ensure that they fully utilize and comprehend the immediate value of the services available and remain in contact with them on a regular basis.
