Welcome to Maplin Electronics
Maplin electronic supplies was established in 1972 as a small mail order business by roger and sandra allen and doug simmons. The company originally started in a bedroom at the allens' home in rayleigh, essex, after the two electronics enthusiasts were disappointed by the complexity and poor availability of existing electronic component suppliers. The trio placed a small advertisement in an electronics magazine after printing the company's first 28-page catalogue, which would be offered free to callers. Despite a slow start and dwindling profit in the first year, the company began to create a reputation for offering first grade electronic components that are delivered exactly as shown in the catalogue by first class post.
