Our History: The Good ‘Ole Days

Advantage Electronics opened its doors for business Friday, July 13, 2001.  Along with  Kathy Sawyer and a former co-worker, Thomas and Dwaynia Sawyer took a giant step into the distribution world.  The business began modestly from the Sawyer home.  Their garage was transformed into a warehouse, and rooms in their downstairs rancher became office space.  Soon, small deliveries began to come in to fill orders.  The product was inventoried and organized as well as could be done with the limited space available.  Customer orders were packed and shipped and the customer base began to grow.

In December 2002, a milestone was reached when Advantage purchased and moved into its office and warehouse on Edgemoor Road.  Not only did the new building give the company a central location from which to operate, Dwaynia and Thomas had their home back.  The customer base continued to grow and soon expanded to customers in Chattanooga and Nashville. 

A Bright Future

The future looks bright for Advantage Electronics.  The customer base that has grown to over 200 accounts throughout middle and east Tennessee, and southern Kentucky.  The future does indeed looks bright! Come see what is making Advantage Electronics one of the top distributors of communication products in the Southeast!

accomplishedTogether, the sales professionals at Advantage Electronics have over 50 years experience in communications and industrial distribution.  We know distribution.  We have relationships with the leading manufacturers in our industry.  We know product and can get you what you need.

arrow.gifAt Advantage Electronics, our main objective is to get the product you need, when you need it, where you need it every time.  We have to be a company that you can rely on.  It is our hope that we can eventually become an extension of your company.  If we do our part to help you succeed, then our success will follow.

arrow.gifThe word “Value” is often overused in our industry.  Companies are constantly trying to find ways to add value to doing business with them, and Advantage Electronics is no different.  All distributors have product and price.  It’s the service that sets them apart and that starts with people.  Advantage Electronics has good people that are ready to serve you.

At Advantage Electronics, we do take care to conduct business without error.  Errors cost time and money for your company and ours.  Errors can also create doubt in the mind of the customer about our ability to service them.
Errors are not a good thing.
However, errors do happen, and when they do, we notify you immediately so that you have time to plan.  An error is corrected in a fashion satisfactory to you.

NaiveWe are just naïve enough to think we can actually contend with the national distributors for your business.  Our combined experience in the distribution world coupled with a desire to succeed provides the confidence necessary to compete in our industry.

trustworthyTrust is a powerful thing.  When you have it, there is no worry.  Anxiety succumbs to peace.  Trust is also something that is earned…over time.  Many companies already trust Advantage Electronics for the material they need.  Let us show you what we can do and begin building a relationship.

ambitionWhat is Advantage Electronics seeking?  What is that “end” for Advantage Electronics?  It is to be counted on when you need product for your project; to be easy to work with; to be trusted with getting material to you when we say we will; to create a partnership that results in both our companies succeeding; to be your communications distributor.
