Kimball Midwest is Thankful for You

Written by Kimball Midwest | November 22, 2022

Thanksgiving is just days away, and there’s a lot to be thankful for here at Kimball Midwest. Proud to be in operation since 1923, our company has been Green and Growing ever since.

It’s our mission to provide our customers with demonstrably superior products and service to best meet their maintenance, repair and operations needs. Kimball Midwest is thankful for our ever-growing workforce and expanding number of distribution centers, now in Columbus, Dallas, Newtown, Reno and Savannah to support customers around the nation.

Our customers are our business and certainly a major thing to be thankful for. Kimball Midwest is thankful we have earned the trust of these hard-working individuals as a supplier. We treat our customers as part of the family, whether that be by helping organize the shop or offering top-of-the-line solutions. We’ll continue to keep business personal, even as the business world shifts away to impersonal. From small automotive stores to large manufacturing businesses, Kimball Midwest is thankful for your business.

Kimball Midwest sales representatives are the heart and soul of our business. They approach every day by putting their best foot forward and delivering quality, service and value. These people are your neighbors down the street, ready to talk about that restaurant opening in town or the score from last Friday’s high school football game. Call us old-fashioned, but we’re extremely thankful to have a team that is willing to go above and beyond by creating customized solutions for each customer. On the flip side, we’ll continue making Kimball Midwest a business that encourages personal growth and achievement.

We are also thankful for the American workforce. Kimball Midwest is committed to offering as many American-made products as possible, and this couldn’t happen without these committed individuals. Eighty percent of our inventory spend goes to product made in the USA, and with over 55,000 inventoried products, that’s quite a feat. We’re thankful for our entire lineup of products that ensure customers can trust us as their single-source supplier.

With our customers, associates and success over the decades, Kimball Midwest surely has a lot to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving from us to you.

Here are some words of thanks from some leaders of the company:

“I am thankful to have been trusted with the responsibility to be a leader at Kimball Midwest to help lead and live our mission, vision, value and behaviors. I am thankful for the love, support, friendship and partnership from friends and family across my personal and professional life. I am thankful for every great pizza place in Columbus – forever indebted.”

“I am thankful for the opportunity to work with family and people I care about and to be with family this year for Thanksgiving. And the best part, no debate, my mom’s side dishes!”

“I’m thankful for my wife, Carrie, and how she has been my biggest supporter through almost 30 years of marriage. I’m also thankful for my four children, Alexandra, Nick, Evan and Ella, and for the joy they bring to my life. I’m thankful to work at a green and growing family business that values people, and I’m thankful to God for his love, care and leadership in my life each day.”
