Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) is one of the world’s leading distributors of electronic components, connectors, electromechanical parts, tools, and industrial automation solutions.
Headquartered in Łódź, central Poland – at the logistics heart of Europe – and serving customers on every continent, TME combines global reach with a human, engineer‑to‑engineer approach to service. Our two modern logistics centres underpin fast, predictable delivery to the UK and across the globe. For design, sourcing, and manufacturing teams, that translates into a reliable partner for high‑mix procurement, rapid prototyping and production supply-backed by people who speak the language of BOMs, lead times, and production ramps.
Global reach, local relevance
TME’s catalogue spans semiconductors and passives through to sensors, power supplies, cabling, thermal management, enclosures, test equipment, and industrial control. With a continually expanding portfolio from established manufacturers and emerging innovators, we support the full product lifecycle-from initial evaluation kits to volume roll‑outs-so that engineers and buyers can consolidate suppliers without compromising choice.
Global operations mean customers benefit from a resilient, multi‑market supply chain and competitive lead times across Europe, the UK & Ireland, North America, the Middle East, and the Asia‑Pacific region. Our logistics model is designed for consistency and transparency: clear availability information, dependable dispatch schedules and proactive communication when conditions change. Whether you are placing a one‑off order or coordinating a multi‑site programme, TME’s infrastructure is built for predictable delivery.
A strong and growing presence in the UK
The UK remains one of TME’s most dynamic markets, reflecting the country’s deep base of design engineering talent and its thriving clusters in automotive, electrification, aerospace, medtech, renewables, and advanced manufacturing. For UK teams, TME provides:
- Dedicated support for UK customers from account managers and product specialists who engage directly with engineering, procurement and operations teams
- Fast, reliable shipping tailored to both prototyping and production scenarios, with options that fit tight R&D timelines as well as scheduled MRP-driven deliveries
- High‑mix, low‑volume flexibility to keep projects moving-from a handful of parts for validation to larger call‑off quantities as designs lock
- Compliance confidence with documentation to support UK regulatory requirements and industry standards
In the UK, TME is a preferred distribution partner for high‑mix sourcing-valued for speed, breadth and service, and working as an extension of engineering and procurement teams.
People first: expertise you can talk to
Technology evolves quickly, yet the decisive advantage remains the human factor. TME invests in accessible, expert teams that work directly with customers:
- Application‑aware product specialists who can help compare options, flag lifecycle risks, and suggest second‑source paths early in the design
- Dedicated account managers who coordinate quotes and inventory strategies across projects and sites
- Multilingual customer care that values clarity and responsiveness over tickets and wait times
This emphasis on teamwork shows up in the details: consistent points of contact, quick clarifications when a part changes status, and proactive alternatives if market conditions shift. The result is fewer surprises and more momentum for your programme.
Breadth and availability at scale
For design engineers and buyers, the practical question is simple: can you get what you need, when you need it? TME’s answer is to combine a broad, continuously refreshed assortment with dependable availability and clear stock visibility. That model supports:
- Rapid prototyping with quick access to development boards, reference designs, discrete components and interconnect
- Design‑to‑manufacture continuity so that the parts you validate are the ones you can source at production ramp
- Supply resilience through alternative parts guidance and multi‑brand coverage across key categories
Performing through market cycles
Electronics has faced a turbulent several years-inventory normalisation, uneven end‑market demand, and inflationary pressures on freight and energy. Throughout, TME has focused on disciplined operations and long‑term supplier partnerships. As a result, we have delivered satisfying financial results and sustained investment in logistics and digital capabilities, reinforcing the stability our customers rely on. For engineering teams, that stability means confidence: confidence that quotes will hold, that stock will be where it should be, and that your distribution partner will keep investing in service levels even when the cycle turns.
Built for the way engineers actually work
The best distribution partner is the one that removes friction:
- Clear, engineer‑friendly data on product pages-parametric filters, documentation, and lifecycle status to speed selection
- Predictable logistics with shipment options that match your stage gate: from same‑day dispatch for urgent builds to scheduled deliveries that fit production cadence
- Straightforward commercial terms aligned to the needs of startups and scaleups as well as established OEMs and EMS providers
Partnership across industries
TME is sector‑agnostic by design, but finely tuned to the requirements of each vertical. In the UK we see strong momentum in:
- Automotive and e‑mobility: connectors, power electronics, thermal solutions, harnessing and sensing for EV platforms and charging
- Industrial automation: PLCs, HMIs, drives, safety components and panel‑build essentials for smarter factories
- Energy and renewables: power conversion, protection and monitoring components that help accelerate the energy transition
- Medical and instrumentation: quality, documentation and traceability for regulated environments
Across these sectors, our role is consistent: to de‑risk supply, simplify sourcing and keep your teams focused on engineering, not expediting.
Why TME for UK engineers and buyers?
- A global catalogue and logistics backbone, aligned to UK timelines and compliance needs
- Real people who answer the phone, respond to emails, and understand the context of your build
- Investment through the cycle, yielding stable availability and dependable service
- A partner mindset-measured by the momentum we help you sustain from concept to production
Whether you are a design engineer chasing a deadline, a buyer keeping lines running, or a CTO scaling a product family, TME brings the reach of a global distributor and the pragmatism of a hands‑on partner. That combination is why more UK teams are choosing TME to power their next idea-and their next build.
If you would like to discuss UK programmes, alternative parts strategies or logistics alignment for upcoming ramps, TME’s team would be glad to connect.
