Sager Electronics

Proud Tradition of Innovation and Service
Sager Electronics began in 1887 as a single storefront in downtown Boston that serviced the growing interest in radio technology. Under the vision and leadership of Joe Sager, the company rapidly established a statewide distribution system for home radios and related components. To further stimulate demand, Sager sponsored a weekly musical radio show and, in 1926, Sager developed the format for play-by-play broadcasts of the Boston Bruins’ hockey games. Despite the onset of the Great Depression, Sager continued to grow by bringing new electrical products to Massachusetts’ consumers.

From Retailer to Distributor
At the onset of WWII, Sager reacted to the critical demand for electronic components. The company refocused its operations to supply electromechanical components to the U.S. military. This transition positioned us to emerge as the leading regional electronic component distributor at the beginning of the consumer electronics market in the 1950s and 60s.
