Applied Industrial Technologies

In September 1998, Bruckner Supply Company, a market leader in integrated supply and indirect materials outsourcing services, merged with Westco International, a leading distributor of electrical and industrial products. With anticipated revenues in exceeding $4 billion, the company operates more than 340 service branches and five fully automated distribution centers with more than 6,000 employees. Bruckner Supply has exclusively engaged in integrated supply and materials management programs with leading manufacturers for more than 20 years. While the company was founded in 1945 as a traditional industrial supplier, Bruckner Supply abandoned this model in 1975 to embrace a new, technology-centered, lower-cost service model. Its customer base is comprised of Fortune 250 companies in electronic, aerospace, automotive, computer technology, transportation, consumer products, industrial, semi-conductor and pharmaceutical industries.
