Basic Concepts, Inc.

For more than 25 years, Basic Concepts has been manufacturing the Sentry product line of spill control and secondary spill containment products for use with oil and chemical spills. Introduced when spill response and spill containment products required assembly or inflation, Basic Concepts' Sentry products revolutionized the market by introducing patented products that are light weight, durable and easy to use. Basic Concepts is the not only the market innovator in spill containment, it is the market leader in portable secondary containment berms. Basic Concepts is the largest provider of secondary containment to the U.S. Military and distributes the Sentry product line through multiple channels of distribution to the commercial end user. The Sentry QuickBerm TM was the first flexible berm on the market that required no inflation or assembly. The QuickBerm’s user friendly patented design is the cornerstone of the Sentry product line. When it comes to innovation, Basic Concepts has set the standard in the portable spill containment market. The newest addition to the Sentry product line is the Rigid Lock QuickBerm TM. Designed with feedback from our customers this newest addition to the product family has been an instant hit. Other innovations include the All Terrain Berm for large volume containment, the Rigid Containment System for permanent secondary containment applications and our line of products for use in and around shop areas.
