Founded in 1993, P&L Network has extensive experience of doing business in the IT sector and more recently has moved into the industrial and consumer electronic marketplace. Located in wholly owned office premises, 45 minutes north of London , the company benefits from excellent transportation links within the UK , and as part of a wider international alliance, has extensive global trade links.

Over time P&L's activity has evolved into two distinct business models as outlined below:-

Trading and Asset Management
With its partner companies Quinn Pacific Trading in the US and Asiatech, Hong Kong, P& L Network can supply a broad range of products and components direct from a variety of worldwide manufacturers.

The company trades in all categories of excess and obsolete IT materials, from finished goods and peripherals down to board level components, but is particularly adept in a few product areas where overstock materials are notoriously hard to resell . For example P&L and its partners have worked directly with most of the major Notebook PC assemblers and manufacturing sub-contractors buying excess stock of components such as LCD's, batteries, AC adaptors and optical drives. These are often reworked and subsequently resold as customised solutions into non-PC markets. For example we sell Notebook LCD panels to POS and Industrial customers enhanced with new backlights, special polarizers, different inverters, etc. Business partners include large original OEM manufacturers such as Siemens, Fujitsu, IBM and Panasonic to global manufacturing subcontractors like Celestica and Flextronics.

With the widespread use of internet trading and broker databases the business chain is often extended over a number of companies, with the whereabouts or ownership of stock not clearly defined. P&L together with its global partners guarantees to only offer products either owned by itself or where it is acting directly on behalf of the original manufacturer or stock owner.

Distribution:
Formerly under the guise of it's OSR Europe division,  P&L has for over 5 years been the exclusive sales and marketing channel in the UK and some other European countries, for Fujitsu Siemens OEM products. This is a range of PC and Industrial motherboards developed and manufactured by Fujitsu Siemens in their Augsburg Germany factory, see

In the past year P&L has formed a relationship with another leading edge German manufacturer Conrac Gmbh to develop business of both OEM and Conrac brand LCD and PDP TV products in the UK, see www.conrac.de .

In line with the specialistion in European technology companies and to expand its high end AV business P&L has most recently formed an alliance with Munich based Cinemateq Gmbh a new and innovative supplier of professional home cinema components.
