The Circuit – June 2026 Newsletter

News From Our CEO

As we move into the summer season, I want to thank our customers, partners, and employees for the continued momentum we are seeing across the business. Demand for our products and services remains strong, and I’m proud of how our operations, production, and service teams continue to work diligently to fulfill orders while maintaining our lead times and quality standards.

One theme you will notice throughout this month’s newsletter is continuous improvement. Whether it is developing better engineered products, improving operational efficiency, or identifying small process improvements that create long-term impact, our team continues looking for ways to better serve our customers and strengthen our organization.

This month’s newsletter highlights several examples of that mindset in action. In our Product Spotlight, we feature our Freedom Engineered Gilbarco Displays, products designed to improve durability, visibility, availability, and ease of installation while delivering a cost-effective alternative to OEM solutions. Our Tech Tip focuses on dispenser receipt printers and how proper maintenance can help reduce downtime and improve customer satisfaction. We also recognize our Florida technician Luis Ayala-Poril in this month’s Employee Spotlight for his initiative and commitment to continuous improvement, qualities that represent the culture we continue building at Freedom Electronics.

Last month, I shared that we made the difficult decision to delay the launch of one of our upcoming products because we were not satisfied with certain performance aspects. I’m happy to report that we have now received updated samples, and the delay was absolutely the right call. The revised product resolves a key issue identified in the OEM version while also delivering a more robust and economical solution for our customers. We are excited about the progress and look forward to formally unveiling this new product in next month’s Product Spotlight!

Fuel prices and freight costs continue to rise, impacting nearly every product and service in our industry. At Freedom Electronics, we are actively working to help minimize those impacts for our customers. We continue operating dedicated van delivery routes from our Michigan, Georgia, and Florida locations to help reduce shipping expenses while improving turnaround times through core pickups and deliveries. In addition, we are strategically optimizing inventory placement so more products are stocked within shorter ground shipping zones, helping reduce transit time and freight costs. If you would like to request to be on one of our van routes, please contact your sales rep or our customer service line at  (866) 335-1542.

We also continue investing in tools that make it easier for customers to quickly identify the correct parts they need. At freedomelectronics.com, our site is designed to simplify product searches and reduce confusion around OEM part numbers and assemblies. OEM manufacturers often change part numbers or offer similar assemblies where multiple options may work, making it difficult to determine compatibility. Our website helps solve that problem: simply type the part number into the search field and we will show you compatible parts. You can also find additional compatible parts under the “Replacement For” section within each product’s specifications, helping customers quickly identify suitable replacement options with confidence.

As always, thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support. We remain committed to delivering engineered solutions that help keep your operations running reliably and efficiently while continuing to invest in the products, people, and processes that create long-term value for our customers.
