Symmetry Electronics

Symmetry Electronics Corporation (private) is headquartered in Hawthorne, California (a suburb of Los Angeles). The company specializes in distribution and value added services related to semiconductors and embedded modules with special emphasis on wireless and video products.

History

The Company was established in 1998. Starting out as a franchised distributor of passive electro-mechanical products, Symmetry’s line card has morphed into a technology focused lineup of franchised semiconductor suppliers.

Recently, Symmetry has remained on the forefront of technological innovation by establishing its Web Marketing division to manage and oversee all of its web communication and Internet properties. Included in that strategy is an ecommerce platform, the SemiconductorStore, that is transforming the way Symmetry is helping its suppliers market their products on a global scale and how it reaches out to assist its current and future customers.

In an effort to provide the global engineering community easy to access design information, SemiconductorStore was established in 2004 and has won numerous NEDA awards including “Best Web Site of the Year” in 2006 and 2007 and the award for the “Totally Wireless Campaign” in 2010.

Social aspect

Symmetry is also committed to a social outreach program it’s called F.A.C.T. (Focus on All-Child Therapies). F.A.C.T is a program specializing in support/social-communication groups for families of children with autism, Asperger Syndrome and related disabilities. They try to find companies who are willing to work with them. Symmetry already hired employees from the program and works to help them gain business experience and learn how to thrive in the work environment.
