David meets Goliath.

The article focuses on the efforts being done by small- and mid-size electronic distributors in the U.S. in 2006 in order to compete successfully with large companies. There are a lot of smaller distributors that are also niche players. They specialize in one type of product or one or two dozen product lines. For example, PEI-Genesis Inc. focuses on military and circular connectors. Connectors are not known for the similar type of technology breakthroughs as semiconductors but they are used in virtually every electronics product.
