NAPCO International's predecessor, Northwestern Auto Parts Company, was founded in 1918 as a local retailer of auto parts for the expanding number of automobiles and trucks in the Minneapolis area. Its founding motto was "for that hard to get part" reflecting the company's commitment to customer service from inception.It was not until the Second World War that the company began manufacturing and rebuilding operations. After the war, the company began its current association with the military aftermarket. Huge quantities of surplus war materiel and the distribution of excess vehicles of all types to countries around the world created an active market of buyers and sellers for that materiel.In the 1950s Northwestern Auto Parts Company became a publicly traded stock company and changed its name to NAPCO Industries, reflecting the change of focus from wholesale supplier to manufacturer. In order to further its commitment to its customers the company began a program in earnest of tracking the availability of blue prints and vendors and prices of all the equipment requested by its world wide customers. The computerized system has become the model for the industry. The company also adopted the quality standards required of manufacturers serving the US Defense Department.In the ensuing years NAPCO has broadened its product line to include communications equipment, aircraft spare parts, logistics services and other products and services appearing on other pages of this web site. Due to corporate changes not related to its defense business, the company's name changed from NAPCO Industries to NAPCO International in the 1980s. The company has continuously improved the efficiency, quality and breadth of its product line through deployment of new technologies, training, and hard work. The company will continue to evolve and change with the change in market demands; the constant will be our commitment to customer satisfaction.
