Industrial Distribution Catches Up With Stock'd Supply
Industrial Distribution (inddist.com) originally visited Stock’d Supply in 2015 when we were Bolts & Nuts and then returned in June 2020 to catch up on what’s changed. Below are excerpts from the article with edits reflecting our recent name change. See the full article here.
Excerpts from full article:
In December 2015, Industrial Distribution managing editor Mike Hockett traveled to Chattanooga, TN to visit Bolts & Nuts Corp. — a distributor of fastener products, MRO supplies and vendor-managed inventory solutions — for the cover story in ID's 2016 Jan/Feb print issue. Since then, the company has moved into a larger headquarters in Chattanooga, made several acquisitions and expanded its product offering.
Industrial Distribution: About what capacity would you say the headquarters location is operating at?
[Stock'd Supply] Our new base of operations in Chattanooga has been transformational in a number of ways for the [Stock'd Supply] family, facilitating growth, but also a major investment in technology, systems and processes that has helped to make us a more efficient organization in service to our customers. With a larger facility in Chattanooga, we have reduced our sourcing costs and increased the diversity of products we keep in stock, which we aim to continue to grow as we expand further into MROP categories. We have some exciting announcements upcoming as the year progresses with respect to our company brand and messaging, and further investments in digital, further geographic expansion, acquisitions and product range.
