Origins of the Name "Arcadia  "

®

Arcadia is the birthplace of Hermes, the Greek messenger god and the god of commerce and trade.  Hermes' winged sandal was the symbol of his swiftness, strength and reliability.

For Arcadia Components, the name and the winged-sandal logo connote Arcadia's ability to forge loyal customer relationships by delivering the right high-quality component, at the right time, and at the right price -- with speed, strength, and integrity.

"Leaders have to act more quickly today.  The pressure comes much faster."
