Quality, compliance and risk control

Sourcing obsolete and hard-to-find electronic components carries inherent risk. At Auckland International, risk control is central to our procurement and supply processes. Every component is sourced through a carefully vetted global network, with suppliers assessed for reliability, traceability and compliance.

We follow recognised industry best practice to reduce the risk of counterfeit, sub-standard or misrepresented parts. This includes documented chain of custody, full part traceability where available, and verification checks aligned with ERAI counterfeit-avoidance guidance. Where the application demands it, components can be subjected to independent inspection and testing prior to supply.

Our quality management processes are designed to support customers operating in regulated and safety-critical environments. Clear documentation, transparent communication and a controlled sourcing approach ensure that obsolete components can be supplied with confidence, continuity and accountability.

Quality assurance

We’re fully committed to providing a service that meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. This is backed by our ISO 9001 certification – the globally recognised standard for quality management. We’re also registered with JOSCAR, the accreditation system trusted by the defence, aerospace, and security sectors. These certifications show our focus on efficiency, customer satisfaction, and meeting the strict demands of our industry.

A complete sourcing service

We offer a complete parts sourcing service, including testing, tape and reeling, and RoHS conversion. Our clients particularly value our 24/7 online stock check and our rapid response to RFQs.

Reliable sourcing from Asia

Asia is home to a vast network of electronic parts suppliers, but assessing their reliability can often be difficult. With our extensive industry experience and membership in ERAI, we reduce the uncertainties and risks involved in sourcing components from Asia.

Building long-term client relationships

We aim to build long-term relationships with our clients by providing a consistently high standard of service. The majority of our work comes from repeat business, reflecting the trust placed in us by satisfied customers. We focus on making life easier for our clients by responding quickly to requests for quotation, offering clear and practical advice, and maintaining open, professional communication at every stage. All client interactions are handled with care and attention to detail, supported by our ISO 9001 quality management systems.

Solving problems

We solve problems for our clients, both those who are looking to buy obsolete components and those looking to sell their excess stock.  Old components often do not meet modern safety standards such as RoHS.  Our RoHS conversion service solves the problem by making them compliant.  Some buyers want to use parts in automated assembly. We enable this by offering tape and reeling. Both buyers and sellers may wish to confirm that components meet the required quality standards. To support this, we provide comprehensive component testing services.
