In its own words

MSC is a leading North American distributor of a broad range of metalworking, maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) and production fastener and hardware products and services. With more than 80 years of experience, we help customers improve productivity, profitability, and operational performance. We serve individual machine shops, Fortune 1000 companies and manufacturers of all sizes. We also maintain a robust public sector customer base including governments and their instrumentalities such as federal agencies, state governments and public sector healthcare providers. We position ourselves as a mission-critical partner to our customers, offering highly technical and high-touch solutions to solve their most complex challenges.

We offer approximately 2.5 million active, saleable stock-keeping units (“SKUs”). The expansive number of SKUs makes us an increasingly valuable partner to our customers as they look to rationalize their supplier base. Our broad range of metalworking and MRO products includes cutting tools, abrasives, machining fluids, measuring instruments, machinery and accessories, tooling components, fasteners, flat stock, raw materials, machinery hand and power tools, safety and janitorial supplies, plumbing supplies, materials handling products, power transmission components and electrical supplies. Over time, we have expanded our product offerings organically and through selective acquisitions, including expansion into Class C Consumables and OEM product offerings, and have also scaled our tooling, regrinding and tool manufacturing business.
