basicEparts began in 1979 near Chicago, Illinois.
The idea was simple:
• Make sure that whatever we say would happen: Happens!
• Be fair with pricing and build loyalty.
• Help buyers find alternates to brands like Sprague and Kemet as well as less well known brands in order to cut lead times and be competitive.
• To assure good buys for customers, KEEP STOCK ON HAND.

When overbuys occurred at some of our biggest customers, we began to purchase their new excess inventory which helped them recover asset value, as well as return to the supply chain brand new perfectly good unopened parts for savings buys by other OEMS!
