Company Description

When you want quality – think BASCO. By choosing BASCO products you are assured of design excellence and manufacturing quality. BASCO has supplied material for hundreds of thousands of apartment buildings, hotels, nursing homes and other residential projects in the past 50 years. In fact, we have been designing and manufacturing medicine cabinets since 1923

HISTORY OF BASCO INC.
BASCO Inc., a New York corporation, was founded by William Kowalchuk in 1976. The Company was formed as a manufacturer’s representative and distributors of washroom accessories. After its first year of operations, the Company expanded its distribution activities to include other bathroom accessory products, along with access doors, fire extinguishers, and fire extinguisher cabinets. The Company then became involved in the design of a new line of innovative bathroom medicine cabinets that it had manufactured under private label by various manufacturers.

The new medicine cabinet product line experienced wide acceptance by Architects and builders for its high quality and design excellence. That product line has grown substantially and in 1984 William Kowalchuk acquired the Albert H. Voigt Company to manufacture its expanded line of bathroom medicine cabinets. Today, Basco continues to hold its position as one of the few manufacturers of high-quality bathroom medicine cabinets made in the United States.

The Company continues to experience very steady growth and has expanded its markets to Europe, Asia, Africa and Pacific Rim. This growth can surely be attributed to the Company’s long held policy of design excellence, consistent manufacturing quality and superior customer service.

We are proud to serve to the construction industry since 1978.
