Essentra Components (formerly Richco, Inc.)

Essentra Components manufactures and distributes small, essential components, such as protective plastic caps, workholding clamps, fasteners, handles & knobs and PCB hardware.

As part of its Vision 2015 strategy, three companies: Alliance, Reid Supply, and Richco Inc. were joined together to form Essentra Components America. This provided our customers with a vast selection of industrial components with regional distribution sites across America and an international network extending to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific regions, including 42 principal manufacturing facilities, 64 sales and distribution operations and 5 research/development centers.

Essentra Components offers over one billion parts stocked with fast same day shipping. We offer free sampling on most of our standard products, allowing customers to "try before you buy".
