Founded about 30 years ago as a specialty distributor, Wes-Garde Components Group has relied on that strategy ever since to expand and solidify its business in North America, even as general-service competitors failed or were acquired as the market consolidated. Today, Wes-Garde distributes products for more than 85 franchised manufacturers and has expanded into Europe.
Executives said Wes-Garde maintains its competitive edge by focusing on the provision of electromechanical products and services to customers in the automotive, marine, medical, telecommunications, industrial and food equipment industries.
The company distributes circuit breakers, connectors, fans, fuses, indicator lights, keyboards, relays, switches, thermostats and wire-management products from manufacturers including Carling Technologies, Cherry, Eaton, ETA, ITT C&K, Marquardt, Potter & Brumfield, Omron, Solico, Tyco and Weidmüller. Wes-Garde recently expanded its line card by signing with Victron Energy, a manufacturer of sine-wave inverters, sine-wave inverter/chargers, battery chargers, dc/dc converters, transfer switches and battery monitors.
Executives said Wes-Garde has built a solid value-added service offering that includes kitting and poly bagging, pad printing, terminal-block assembly, wire cutting and stripping, and custom packaging. The company custom-assembles switches, terminal blocks, indicator lights and other components.
In addition to its headquarters, Wes-Garde has 15 branches across the United States and Canada.
