Welcome to Tapco Circuit Supply.

Founded in 1982 by my father, Al Palmer, Tapco began as a regional distributor of quality circuit board products in the Chicago area. By 1987, we expanded into Minneapolis, MN in an effort to become a major distributor in the Midwest market.

In 2004, I assumed the role as president of the company and, together with my brother, Todd, we began a plan for expanding the company to new heights. One year later, we got our chance as we purchased EIS Circuit Supply and became Tapco Circuit Supply. With our new locations, we became a leading national distributor.

In further effort to expand our product offerings and become a total solution for our customers, we purchased HAMs USA operations in 2007, then acquired Tulon and partnered with TCT in order to create our TCS Cutting Tool line in 2008. And in 2009, we formed a strategic partnership with ITEQ, enabling our customers access to one of the leading international manufacturers of copper clad laminate and pre-preg.

In addition to those already mentioned, were also proud to be partnered with great companies like Dow, 3M, Oak Mitsui, Burkle, Schmoll, Schmid, and several others.

With many years of work, we here at Tapco Circuit Supply have been able to deliver value by providing the printed circuit industry with the best materials, service, and equipment. We will build on our commitment as a dynamic, valued partner with each customer, and continuously look for new ways to exploit our passion for excellence. We never stop developing our services, our people, and our relationships.
