Incorporated in 1988, Midwest Communication Products, Inc. is the senior member of our family and remains as the backbone of Group Midwest. With a passionate dedication to quality, MCPI has experienced consistent, dramatic growth and is today a dominant force in the telecommunications resale industry. Our client base includes nearly every major telephone company in North America, numerous smaller independent telephone companies and a growing international trade.

The core business at MCPI involves the marketing of surplus and refurbished central office circuit boards (switching, transmission and outside plant), more commonly known within the industry as "plugins". Midwest Digital handles the "customer premise equipment" (telephones, PBX, network, etc.), and is another division within Group Midwest. In today's competitive world, most telephone companies in North America have come to rely heavily upon the use of refurbished plugins as a means of meeting bottom line financial commitments while continuing to provide outstanding service to end users. Many telephone companies have learned that the deployment of high quality refurbished equipment from Midwest is an intelligent way to ease the impact of tight capital budgets. Smart customers know that MCPI offers the finest products in the entire industry at competitive prices, all backed by an industry-leading warranty.


Our team procures surplus plugins from variety of sources, including Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM's), Regional Bell Operating Companies an Independent Telephone Companies. We are extremely proud that we receive surplus and/or refurbished inventory from several large OEM's, one of but a handful of resellers to possess this distinction. No one has a higher regard for quality than the equipment manufacturers, and we are pleased that MCPI can offer this superb inventory, the finest in the entire resale industry, to our customers.

From the OEM perspective, Midwest provides an avenue for immediate entry into the huge secondary equipment market. Many sales occur every day in this market, unknown to the OEM. Why? Because customers often search the secondary market as a first choice, in order to save precious capital dollars. By using Midwest, OEM's can rapidly and efficiently capitalize on this growing trend. The OEM can reap immediate and significant revenues, while introducing higher standards of equipment quality into the secondary market. This represents a powerful incentive for customers to choose high quality reused equipment from Midwest, rather than "questionable" equipment from other resellers.

Every unit is warehoused in a tightly controlled, ESD protective environment. We are very proud of our facilities and heartily encourage inspection by our clients. Upon sale, each item is bar code labeled and is also marked for identification with our Midwest warranty label. In simple form, this label shows the month and year of warranty expiration--a feature which is appreciated by customers for its ease of warranty tracking. When you buy equipment from Midwest, every product carries our name proudly for the world to see. Another symbol of our continuing commitment to excellence.
