ISSCO is a family owned and operated company and has been for over 40 years. A focus from over 40 years ago that continues to lead the company is teamwork - and leading by example. The ISSCO President, Jake Davis, literally grew up in the company and is committed to leading the company with a team atmosphere. 

The family-owned business structure not only benefits the work environment for employees, but it is also unmatched in our industry. Our employees average over 20 years of service at ISSCO, and many our customers are returning buyers. It's amazing what can be done when everyone works together to provide the most exceptional customer service and experience to all of our customers. 

ISSCO INC.'s location history is very different, in the fact that not many companies can say they have operated from a cave! As a Kansas City, family-owned business, ISSCO hasn't always been operating from their current facility in Lee's Summit. Here's a little about the company's background, and shares the story about how they operated from Kansas City's Carefree Industrial Park "Caves." 

ISSCO, Inc. was founded by the current CEO Joe L. Davis Jr. in the basement of his Independence home. Joe was in the fastener distribution business for years, but in 1974 he decided to open his own company. ISSCO was established with one goal in mind: efficiently and successfully servicing our customers. We’ve spent years perfecting the distribution of quality fasteners including bolts, nuts, screws, sockets and much more. Our product lines and inventory levels will continue to reflect our commitment to customers throughout the Midwest. 40+ years later and ISSCO continues to build successful customer relationships with that same goal in mind. 

ISSCO, INC. celebrated World Blood Donor Day on June 14th by hosting their first company-wide blood drive. ISSCO President, Jake Davis, continues to lead the company by example, which has always been a core value to he and his family. "Joe and Margaret Davis, my parents, set the precedence when it comes to giving back to the community. I watched from afar for many years and now it is my time to lead our organization as we seek to make a difference in our community."

ISSCO, INC. partnered with Community Blood Bank of KC and made the day relaxing and fun, by providing breakfast and lunch to all employees, and encouraging those eligible to donate blood!

ISSCO, INC. is honoring #WorldBloodDonorDay on Thursday, June 14, 2018 with their first company blood drive. Partnered with Community Blood Center of Kansas City, ISSCO and their sister company, BTM Manufacturing, has nearly half of their employees signed up to give blood. ISSCO and BTM Manufacturing President, Jake Davis, is a longtime blood donor and feels the need to give back. If you're in the Lee's Summit area on Thursday, June 14, and would like to give blood, please visit the Community Center Blood Bus at 405 SE Bailey Rd from 10AM - 2PM. You are also able to sign up here: esavealifenow.org, and enter sponsor code: ISSCO. 

At ISSCO Inc., our main goal is to provide our customers with it all: fastener distribution, manufacturing and packaging operations. This allows us the unique ability of offering a full range of services to our customers. We innovate to continually provide our customers with the best possible experience.  With superior customer service, electronic processes, vendor managed inventory programs, in-house kitting and packaging services, manufacturing and so much more, ISSCO has consistently been a leader in offering effective solutions to the ever-evolving industry. 

Kansas City, MO – ISSCO, INC.’s salesperson, Jennifer George, was recognized as a Top 30 Partner in Warehouse1’s first 30 years of business. This honor is awarded to Jennifer for her continual efforts to provide exceptional customer service. 

The CEO of Warehouse1, Mary Lou Jacoby, speaks about the selection process for the 30 in 30 Partner Awards.

Each month ISSCO employees select a Kansas City organization as the recipient for receiving our Friday Jeans Day donations. In the month of May, ISSCO employees raised $120, and the company matched that, for FosterAdopt Connect. The total donation was $240, and will support their mission to provide foster and adoptive children a stable, loving and nurturing family environment by support and advocacy for abused and neglected children and the families caring for them.

In observation of Memorial Day, ISSCO, INC. will be closed on Monday, May 28, 2018. Normal business hours will resume on Tuesday, May 29.  Have a safe and relaxing weekend!
