About MicroAge Basics |
|
|
|
|
Family Owned & Operated |
|
MicroAge Basics is operated by Bluewater Office Equipment, Ltd, and has been family
owned & operated since 1984. There are currently five Peet family members
working within the organization, which helps to ensure that customer service and
quality remains our number one goal. |
|
Alliances |
|
Our name comes from our associations with our two buying groups, MicroAge and Basics. |
|
In the Beginning...
|
Founded in 1984, Bluewater Office Equipment Ltd. is a privately owned family business
serving Southwestern Ontario. The original location in Goderich, primarily serviced
and sold Photocopiers, Fax Machines, Computer Equipment, Typewriters and Word Processors.
In 1987, after a relocation, Bluewater Office Equipment greatly expanded Office
Supply and Furniture Products.
|
|
Growth |
|
In 1988 an opportunity presented itself and a second, satellite location was opened
in the town of Wingham. This opportunity allowed Bluewater Office Equipment to better
serve and increase the northern end of their service area. |
|
Alliances |
In 1992, Bluewater Office Equipment joined Multimicro as a franchisee, under the
MicroAge Group. Multimicro - Canada's largest network of computer ressellers - has
many groups including the Compucentre, CompuSmart and Northwest Digital groups.
In 1998 Bluewater Office Equipment joined the BASICS buying group and changed their
operating name, to reflect these alliances, to MicroAge Basics. While no operating
or ownership changes were made, the name change helped establish MicroAge Basics
as a member of two nationwide organizations.
The BASICS buying group is the largest office supply buying group in Canada. Owned
by its Canadian Members, BASICS has dealers from coast to coast.
