Circuitrocks was established in 2015 to address logistical challenges frequently encountered by Filipino makers, specifically the long waiting times and high shipping costs associated with ordering electronic components from overseas suppliers.1

The company began as a small inventory of Arduino boards stored in a garage in Quezon City before expanding into one of the largest dedicated distributors of maker electronics in the Philippines. Unlike marketplace or dropshipping models, Circuitrocks maintains local inventory in Metro Manila, enabling significantly faster product delivery compared to international imports.1

Since its inception, the company has achieved several operational milestones:

• Stocking more than 2,400 electronic products
• Shipping over 31,000 customer orders
• Partnering with more than a dozen international electronics brands
• Building an educational platform for electronics and embedded systems learning1

Circuitrocks operates as both an electronics distributor and a technology education platform. Distinct from many online electronics retailers, the company emphasizes maintaining physical inventory within the Philippines. This infrastructure supports same-day order dispatch prior to cutoff times, faster nationwide shipping, verified stock availability, and technical support provided by experienced electronics practitioners.1

Circuitrocks offers a comprehensive range of products covering electronics prototyping, embedded systems, robotics, IoT, and STEM education. The catalog spans more than 2,400 SKUs, positioning Circuitrocks as one of the larger dedicated electronics suppliers in the country.1
