A marketplace flooded with counterfeit electronic components and equipment affects economics negatively across multiple industries and impacts the efficacy of numerous military, aerospace, defense, biotechnology, medical, and scientific technologies, endangering the safety of those who depend on their effectiveness. Ultimately, counterfeit parts can lead to unnecessary casualties and weakened national defense.

CTG's Authent-Assure® counterfeit avoidance and authentication program ensures the United States military, defense and aerospace manufacturers, and commercial and industrial clients acquire only genuine parts and equipment to protect their clients and consumers who depend on high-quality, reliable components and devices.

Our established, multilevel inspection procedures help enable military operational readiness with our Rapid Quote System and immediate procurement and delivery of critical parts that are in stock, readily available, and ready to ship—even obsolete, hard-to-find, and heavily allocated parts.
