About

ORS Nasco is North America's largest pure wholesaler of industrial supplies, selling exclusively to distributors throughout the continent. Founded in 1959, the company has built a robust reputation over more than six decades as a trusted partner in the industrial supply chain. The company operates seven strategically located distribution centers across the United States, enabling exceptional customer service and efficient product distribution to its extensive network of distributor partners. ORS Nasco offers customers access to over 200,000 SKUs of premium industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) products from hundreds of major manufacturers. The company's comprehensive product portfolio spans welding, safety, electrical, oilfield, and construction categories, making it a one-stop solution for distributors serving diverse industrial markets. By focusing exclusively on the distributor channel rather than selling directly to end-users, ORS Nasco enables its partners to build stronger relationships with their own customers while accessing competitive pricing and inventory depth that would be difficult to achieve independently.
