The joining of both companies marketed to consumers and industrial merchants. They were a major electronic part master distributor. Bernard Lester, owner of Lester Electronics, wanted to expand the company horizon and venture outside of the United States. Working with John Lin, owner of Shang-wa, gave Lester that opportunity.
