                    Deltron Electronics plc
                  #1.3 million Acquisition of
    Cirkit Distribution Business ("Cirkit") from Bulgin PLC
                               
Deltron   Electronics  plc  ("Deltron"),   the   international
specialist   distributor   and  manufacturer   of   electronic
components,  announces  that it has  acquired  the  trade  and
assets   of  Cirkit  Distribution  Limited,  a  wholly   owned
subsidiary of  Bulgin PLC ("Bulgin"), for a  consideration  of
approximately #1.3 million. The acquisition has been completed
with  effect from 30th April 1999. Cirkit distributes a  range
of  electromechanical,  magnetic, passive  and  RF  components
complementary  to  those offered by Deltron, including  Bulgin
Components and Toko chokes and wound components.

The  consideration  has been satisfied by  the  issue  to  the
Vendors  of 930,233 new Ordinary Shares of 5p each in  Deltron
(which  will be retained by Bulgin) together with #400,000  in
cash. For the year ended 31 January 1998, Cirkit had sales  of
#6.1m,  pre-tax loss of #35,000 and net assets of #544,552.  A
restructuring  of Cirkits operations has since  been  carried
out  and  annualised sales are now running at closer to  #4.5m
and   net  assets  on  completion  were  approximately  #1.2m,
excluding bank borrowings and intergroup indebtedness retained
by the Vendor.

Paul   Gourmand,   Chairman   of  Deltron   Electronics   plc,
commented "The  acquisition of Cirkit represents  a  further
development  in Deltrons European strategy and maintains  the
Groups  focus on electromechanical products. The  acquisition
is  expected to be usefully earnings enhancing and should lead
to  an  immediate  extention  of its  franchise  lines  across
Europe."
