Our History
Founded in 1977 by Bill Federighi and Tom Lotus, two former regional sales managers who quickly identified a need for a “customer-first” approach to serving the electronics industry. A sales savvy, engineer-driven company, NEP established themselves as a specialty distributor with a focus in the gaming industry while also offering custom cable and harness services.
Over time, the component distribution business commoditized, filling up with large companies and increased competition, which lead NEP to focus-in on and grow their value-add custom contract manufacturing services. Since then, NEP has become a premier, niche, and unique company in the industry, offering custom cable harnesses, turn-key box builds, component distribution, and inventory management services to a wide range of customers and marketplace applications.
