TTI, Inc. is a distributor of passive, interconnect and electromechanical components. The company was founded by Paul Andrews in 1971. As a former parts buyer for General Dynamics, a military aircraft manufacturer, Andrews developed a specialized inventory with emphasis on capacitors, resistors and connectors and combined it with supply chain management systems. Originally named Tex-Tronics, Inc., Andrews changed the name to TTI, Inc. in 1973 to avoid a legal dispute involving another company with a similar name. Though it began as a very small entrepreneurial endeavor, TTI is now ranked... fifth in North American electronic distribution sales and eighth in global electronic distribution sales, based on 2005 sales. Locally, TTI is the second largest private company in Tarrant County. TTI's main operations are based in Fort Worth, Texas. Area facilities include the 270,000-square-foot corporate headquarters and passives operation, a 200,000-square-foot connector warehouse, assembly and modification center.
