Alfa Electronics is a company of real people with real goals, real dreams and real families. The challenge we see in many organizations today is the total emphasis toward superior products, efficiencies in manufacturing, technologies, and facilities with little regard toward its own employees and or the customers to whom they sell. The essence of great service resides with individuals who believe and subscribe to providing the most pleasant transaction possible no matter what the product or service is they provide.
The Alfa motivation and enthusiasm for success comes from our many years of component distribution and manufacturing experience. We have a tremendous and diverse background of expertise from Executive Level Management to tactical and strategic planning for customer value added programs to physical distribution expertise and more. We have worked with some of the best in the industry. From these experiences we have developed a differentiation unique from our competition. |

Al Clark
Director of Purchasing - Co-Founder |

To simply say that Al manages our Procurement group would be a vast understatement relative to his actual activities and responsibilities. Along with Bettina, Al was directly involved with the companies beginnings and subsequent growth. His efforts in developing processes and procedures along with many years of supplier and customer interface specifically established the foundation and ultimate employee infrastructure for what Alfa is today.
Al Clark is the cornerstone to the Alfa operation and a key reason for this company’s true success. He is relentless in solving issues for customers and suppliers alike. One thing you’ll notice about Al is no problem or challenge is too small for him to fix. It’s that tenacity that you’ll come to truly appreciate.
