Africa's First Professional Electronics Distributor

Since 2007, Microscale has been on a singular mission: to give African builders, engineers, and makers access to the same professional-grade components and technical resources that their counterparts in the US, Europe, and Asia take for granted.

We are Nigeria's — and Africa's — first professional electronics distributor, sourcing components, equipment, and reference designs directly from verified global suppliers and delivering them across Nigeria with the technical depth that informal importers simply cannot match.

Our Story

Microscale was founded in 2007, growing out of a parent company with deep roots in hardware manufacturing — including tablet production. That manufacturing DNA gave us something rare in the Nigerian electronics market: we don't just sell parts, we understand how they work together.

Over nearly two decades, we've built direct relationships with global suppliers, established multi-location operations across Nigeria (Abuja, Lagos, and a dedicated warehouse), and assembled a team of engineers who speak the same language as our customers — because many of them are builders themselves.

Our work caught the attention of the global tech community, including a notable recognition during Mark Zuckerberg's visit to Nigeria — a moment that affirmed what we already knew: Africa's maker and engineering ecosystem is ready, and it deserves a distributor that's ready too.

What We Supply

• Electronic components — resistors, capacitors, ICs, and everything in between
• Development boards & kits — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32, ESP32, and more
• NFC/RFID cards & modules
• 3D printing filaments and supplies
• Test equipment and reference designs

Whether you're prototyping your first product or scaling a production run, Microscale is your technical supply partner from idea to finished product.

Why Microscale — Not an Informal Importer

When a component fails or a spec doesn't match, informal importers disappear. We don't. Here's what sets us apart:

• ✅ Verified global suppliers — every product is sourced from authenticated manufacturers and distributors
• ✅ Technical expertise on-staff — our team are engineers, not just salespeople
• ✅ Consistent stock & full documentation — datasheets, specs, and support included
• ✅ Warranty & after-sales support — we stand behind what we sell
• ✅ Nationwide delivery infrastructure — Abuja, Lagos, and beyond

Our Mission

To help African builders go from idea to product — with the right parts, the right knowledge, and a partner they can trust.
