In the late 1950’s three Lafayette area businessmen joined forces to create CWY Electronics. A source of repair parts for TV and Radio, dealers and repairmen. As time passed the business grew, and in 1960 they relocated to our present location. CWY then spread its’ reach into the cable TV supply business, gaining national status.In 1988 the electronics division of CWY Electronics was purchased by Lafayette Electronic Supply, INC.

November 2016, Deb & Jim VanLaere purchased the business, Jim previously worked for CWY and Lafayette Electronic Supply for over 20 years. Jim and Deb are excited to expand the product lines and increase inventory.

Today Lafayette Electronic Supply is a full line electronic distributor and retailer. We serve the needs of the local community and the surrounding states. Providing products for retail, industry, contractors, universities and municipalities.

We are a proud member of Edge Marketing Group, a distributor-owned buying and marketing organization, with 100 members with $90 million in inventory and 150 stocking locations.

Thank you very much for all the help that you have given me when I visited Lafayette Electronic Supply throughout the last semester. Between all the Type N connectors and the two Yagi antennas, Purdue IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) has been able to look back on our Microwaves in Internet Delivery project as a success. In recognition of the discounts you have provided and assistance in store, the Purdue IEEE MTT-S leadership agreed to grant Lafayette Electronic Supply recognition as one of our radio-energy partners. Thank you so much for all you do.

Lafayette Electronic Supply has been my supplier for over 25 years. In that time I have developed a very good working relationship with them. I appreciate having a local stocking supplier, providing me with product and product knowledge. Lafayette Electronic Supply provides me with antennas, cable, connectors and Taco tower product...all the product I need for my antenna and networking installations.

You can’t say enough good things about Lafayette Electronics. Running a small laboratory measurement service sometimes requires repairing equipment with hard to find parts that Lafayette Electronics stocks. From computer cables to micro-dot connectors this small local store has a lot going for it...Their new addition of high resolution security cameras at competitive prices allowed me to replace my old security camera system with stunning 1080p pictures at a quarter of the price of my old system from five years ago.
