About PC Parts, Inc.
Our roots in Information Technology (IT) service maintenance date back to 1985

After a successful tenure at IBM, George Crist, Sr. envisioned and ultimately realized his concept of a dedicated service company working on IBM printers and computers, as well as providing superior IT maintenance solutions. Computer Maintenance Service, Inc. then built an impeccable reputation with a constant focus on both quality and timeliness of service, with focused attention to the customer. This new demand for computer and printer maintenance parts in tandem with our reputation for quality IT maintenance helped the company experience accelerated growth through the late 80’s and early 90’s.

In late 1991, we incorporated the maintenance parts portion of our business and PC Parts, Inc. was born. Thus began our primary focus on our customer’s maintenance needs and the specialty practice of refurbishing, rebuilding, reverse-engineering and manufacturing of computer and printer parts. PC Parts, Inc. quickly established itself regionally as an integral IT maintenance parts provider. Originally specializing in just a few manufacturers of printer parts such as IBM and Lexmark, the company began to source and refurbish not only IBM & Lexmark, but essentially all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) of IT service parts.

In 1998 PC Parts, Inc., under the direction of George H. Crist, Ph.D., began and continues to sell laterally to other distributors, directly to IT service providers, IT OEMs, and via the Internet to the retail customer.

Environmental Protection

We have always made it a point to concentrate on the reuse, refurbishment and recycling of maintenance parts. In recent years, we have demonstrated a renewed commitment to going “green” and becoming a “zero landfill” organization. Recognizing that we generate a large amount of unused parts, scrap material, plastic and other assorted commodities that would otherwise make its way into the Earth, we possessed an opportunity to simultaneously cut down on waste and act in an environmentally responsible manner. PC Parts, Inc. has begun recycling nearly all non-repairable material and commodities that were produced from our dismantle operations. Over 250 tons per year, of aluminum, steel, computer electronics, Styrofoam, plastic, cardboard and white paper that are now recycled, rather than waste destined for another landfill.

PC Parts, Inc., as a corporate citizen, acknowledges the importance of giving back to our community. Therefore, we have made it a priority to maintain our U.S. corporate headquarters in financially distressed and disadvantaged community designated by the PA Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) as an Enterprise Zone.
