45 years in business.... 16,425 days of servicing our customers with all of their fastener needs. In April 2019, ISSCO, INC. will be celebrating our 45th year in business as a fastener distributor. As four and a half decades flew past in a blink of an eye, one common denominator remains true... we are fully focused on customer service. Period. 


6 Benefits of a VMI

Copy of industrial supplies.png

ISSCO, INC. offers Vendor Managed Inventory solutions, known as a VMI. The way to ensure your company would benefit from the setup of a VMI is to initiate a conversation about ISSCO helping you streamline your manufacturing processes. Together we can determine an agreed-upon amount of inventory to be stocked on location and at ISSCO. Our team will take a look at your historical annual usage to ensure inventory is accurate. We even offer a Consignment VMI option, which means you pay for the product only after it has been used.

By eliminating the burden of purchasing fasteners on a daily basis and relying on ISSCO for your inventories, you will see immediate benefits, including less purchase orders (spending less money), and a reduction or elimination of routine stock-outs or shutdowns. You now have time to concentrate on greater, more progressive projects for your company.

ISSCO, Inc. was founded by our 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 our customers throughout the Midwest. 40+ years later and we continue to build successful customer relationships with that same goal.
