American Distributors (ADI) was founded as a value-added distributor of electronic and electro-mechanical components and assemblies based upon four essential principles: 1) Focus upon quality; 2) Remain dedicated to customer service; 3) Develop innovative solutions; 4) Bring value to customers. With an extensive network of global partners, ADI follows the premise that innovation in product design and manufacturing is a key ingredient in improving capability and capacity. ADI's dedicated and insightful staff, its extensive experience of more than 30 years, its tens of millions of parts in stock, and certified "preferred supplier"​ status among many of the top oem’s in aerospace let it quickly identify the subtle changes that can either strengthen a product’s performance, or place it at risk.
