History of Service

Spirit opened for business as a franchised distributor in 1979. Since then, we have operated on the principle of service with dedication.

CEO Marti McCurdy took the helm at Spirit Electronics in 2017. Since then, our team has grown almost 300%, and Spirit’s services have expanded from distribution to multiple business units, including foundry services, our test lab, and circuit card assembly.

Our highly collaborative team is focused on ensuring on-time delivery and meeting high-reliability quality expectations. We work tirelessly to achieve the best mission and supply chain outcomes for our customers. We play a critical role in satellite launches, avionics applications, and defense readiness.
