INDUSTRY NEWS ANGLIA COMPONENTS’ NEW COMPANY –
ADIOS ELECTRONICS – TO HOLD INVENTORY OF OUTSOURCED SEMICONDUCTORS
According to the company, ADIOS
creates a new distribution model that strategically merges the reliability of traditional distribution – such as robust inventory management, quality control and high service levels – with the agility and reach of a broker. At the same time, ADIOS unlocks access to a broader supplier base without the restrictions imposed by franchised lines, enabling exceptionally competitive pricing and faster sourcing across global markets.
Anglia Components has launched a new limited company, ADIOS Electronics, which will hold inventory on popular products.
By combining these strengths, the company aims to legitimise the traditional broker model and deliver a compelling value proposition: the
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL (SAF) KEY TO HELPING AVIATION INDUSTRY ACHIEVE 2050 SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) represents aviation’s most promising and practical path to reducing carbon emissions and achieving 2050 sustainability goals. In May 2025, the UK Government introduced the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill (SAF), which has reached Report Stage in Parliament. The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT UK) is helping the Government with advice and guidance on SAF and how it can help the logistics and transport sector. But, understanding SAF’s workings and benefits is crucial for the aviation sector – and why
it must be embraced sooner rather than later. Geoff Maynard, member of the Aviation Policy Group at CILT (UK), recently gave evidence in Parliament to the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill Committee as MPs further consider the Bill. SAF is a cleaner alternative to traditional jet fuel that can power aircraft without engine or
infrastructure changes. Produced from sustainable resources like agricultural waste, used cooking oil, and municipal solid waste, SAF is a ‘drop-in’ fuel that can be used in existing aircraft engines and fuel systems without modifications. It performs identically to traditional jet fuel in terms of energy density, freezing point, and combustion characteristics, requiring no special training or new equipment. SAF can also be produced using green electricity, water and carbon dioxide extracted from the air. This SAF, also known as e-fuel, could be produced in very large quantities – constrained only by the investment in new plant.

NEW TECHNOLOGY CUTS MACHINE TOOL ENERGY COSTS BY UP TO 80%
Filtermist has introduced a new technology that can help manufacturers improve their environmental performance by cutting energy costs on machine tools by up to 80%. F Save is a smart system that has been designed to optimise the operation of the company’s
oil mist collectors, meaning the unit only runs when it is needed rather than constantly being on throughout a full shift. It includes a sensor which attaches to the coolant pump on the machine tool and communicates with the F Save Hub. If the pump is inactive, the Filtermist unit automatically switches off. As oil mist is only generated when coolant is in use, this
reduces wasted energy while keeping machine operators fully protected from exposure to airborne oil mist particles. “Our research showed that some machines are only
operational for around 20-30% of the working day,” explains René Joppi, managing director at Filtermist. “If our unit runs constantly during this time, it wastes resources, increases costs, and adds to a company’s carbon footprint. With F Save, customers can cut energy usage by up to 80% and, in some cases, achieve payback in under three months.”

assurance and professionalism of a distributor, with the flexibility and cost-efficiency of a broker. “There is a trend among certain large
semiconductor manufacturers to reduce their distribution network,” commented John Bowman, marketing director. “This, of course, reduces their operating costs and increases their profitability, whilst giving them an unhealthy leverage and restricting customer choice...” ADIOS will be offering semiconductors from
key brands such as Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), Maxim and Linear Technology. The company is AS9120 accredited. Bowman added: “We are taking a stand
against suppliers that operate restrictive sales channels. We are firmly committed to giving customers the choice of where to buy semiconductors, and we believe that with the creation of ADIOS, completely separate from Anglia, we will be able to deliver on our promise to give customers what they need.”
