Astute was founded more than three decades ago by CEO and MD Geoff Hill to bridge the gap between broadline and independent distribution in the European supply chain.

Headquartered in the UK, still privately owned, and with strategically-located offices now stretching across five continents, Astute has evolved into a global technology solutions player offering reliable cradle-to-grave component support throughout the entire product life-cycle.
