Are you tired of your shop not being organized? Do you find that you’re always missing the part you need when you need it? If so, let 2025 be the end to these problems.
Luckily, Kimball Midwest has a solution for you – one that will get you organized and prepared to take on the new year. We offer more than 800 assortments, which are complete setups of products commonly used together and are typically grouped by the most common sizes.
You will find we have assortments for just about any shop category, and they feature all the products you may need in one organized place.
Superior organization helps increase shop efficiency and reduces downtime. How? When a shop is organized, it makes things easier to find. When things are easier to find, you can spend less time looking for the right product and more time doing other work.
By staying organized, you can also save time and money by not having to run out to a store to get an item. Staying organized will eliminate that need as you will easily be able to see all the products you have, and which ones are running low.
With so many assortments to choose from, it can be hard to decide which ones to get. Your Kimball Midwest sales representative can work with you to figure out which assortments may be right for you.
Here are some commonly used and helpful assortments for our different product categories. We’ve also included some of our master assortments, which are a combination of multiple assortments and are a comprehensive set of parts designed to cover your day-to-day maintenance needs for the most frequently used items.
