Company profile: Centronics
Centronics A/V Distribution is one of the leading distributors of antenna and satellite products. The company has been in business for over 50 years, and is located in the town of Stevensville, MD. Centronics specializes in producing all kinds of audio visual, DBS and off air consumer electronics. They also produce top quality home theater accessories.
Centronics distributes products from numerous top manufacturers in the A/V and home theater sector. They sell Video Mount Products TV mounts; SPAUN satellite distribution gear; Winegard off-air accessories and antennas as well as home theater products from such manufacturers as CWI, Universal Remote Control and Speco Technologies. These products are only a small sampling of the 5000 item catalog that Centronic AV Distribution provides to dealers and retail stores.
As an electronics wholesaler, Centronics does not sell directly to customers. They operate as a strictly business to business operation with customers among some of the largest consumer electronics stores in the world. They sell from giant national chains like Best Buy and Walmart as well as to smaller specialty stores that cater to a more demanding customer base. Distribution of the products is handled through independent freight brokers who provide rail and truck shipping from Centronics to its various customers across the nation.
The company was incorporated under its current name in 2006, having gone previously by the name Centronic Wholesale, Inc. The company employs approximately 50 people at its distribution center in Stevensville. The company is led by John Carbone Jr, President and Anthonly James Pezura, Vice President. With consumer demand for home theaters and high end audio visual equipment on the decline, Centronics is currently looking to streamline its operation and reduce costs like many American companies, but the strong leadership and experience of its executive team should see the company through these difficult times.
