Kimball Midwest at a Glance

Kimball Midwest is a national distributor of MRO supplies focused on serving customers with the best products and service out there. Since 1923, we’ve remained family-owned and operated, and we strive to remain this way by continuing to grow our business each year through hiring and empowering exceptional associates.

 

We have five distribution centers throughout the U.S. — Columbus, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; Reno, Nevada; Savannah, Georgia; and Newtown, Connecticut. While we have distribution centers in five locations, our presence spreads throughout the nation because of our sales team in the field.
