"Buckles-Smith did an initial (inventory) study and determined what low- and high-volume parts were needed, and how often they were used. Right away we saw an immediate savings in inventory spending, which reduced our exposure. Overall, I'd say they have saved us more than 25% in inventory costs." Senior Purchasing Manager, Large Instrumentation Manufacturer HISTORY OF BUCKLES-SMITH SERVING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR OVER 80 YEARS Silicon Valley didn't exist in 1939 when Mr. Buckles and Mr. Smith started Buckles and Smith. Two men saw an opportunity to deliver electrical parts to local manufacturing and production plants in San Jose. At the time, the valley was thriving with orchards, farms, and food production. With their single truck, two men supplied parts to farm water supply and food packaging operations. In 1941, Henry J. Kaiser contracted Buckles-Smith to provide the supplies needed to build a cement plant. From that point on, Buckles-Smith continued to grow organically. The electrical distributor acquired Diablo Electric in 1992, State Electric in 1995, Electrical Materials in 2002, Plough Electric in 2013, Royal Wholesale and CED Electric in 2016, and most recently, Allied Electric in 2018. What started with two employees, one truck, and one location evolved into the distributor it is today. Operating in Northern and Central California, Buckles-Smith remains true to its original vision: providing consolidated, on-time delivery of electrical power, automation, and control products. Today we are one of the largest electrical distributors in the western region and we continue to operate based on our core values. At Buckles-Smith, we call these values "The Four Pillars".
