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.

Where to Purchase Transportation Fasteners

Brown Plain Collages Facebook Post

For those in the transit and hauling industries, like heavy truck and trailer repair or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), fasteners need to be designed to precise specifications. When finding a distributor, companies need to understand that not all distributors offer the same service, options, and solutions. Here's a look at how ISSCO, INC, a Kansas City area based distirbutor has found decades of success within these industries. Not only does ISSCO assist with the rigorous fastener demands, but also our full range of services allows us to present customers with an entirely new degree of quality and performance.

As a leading fastener distributor, we’re able to develop custom fastener solutions for our customers. With automotive/transportation fasteners being such a specialized hub, ISSCO is evolving to meet the growing demands with innovative fastening solutions. As more people rely on mass transit or large trucks for their jobs, ISSCO is ready to provide you with a unique level of quality manufacturing and distributing services.
