Our History
Established in 1985 by Ralph Rader and Al Talbot, Western States Tool & Supply has been operating with one fundamental principle at its core – service. While our focus and inventory have grown exponentially since our beginnings, that core value remains as unwavering today as it did on day one.
Service is the cornerstone of our existence. We have always exceeded what is typically “expected” in the industry. Being an independent and privately owned entity grants us the flexibility and responsiveness necessary to deliver superior services. We can tailor customized solutions that align with our customers’ specific needs, not ours. Our mission is to be true partners with our customers, enabling them to operate cost-effectively and efficiently.
We understand that every customer’s needs are unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to every project. We work closely with our customers to understand their specific requirements and challenges, and we develop customized solutions that address their needs effectively.
Over the years, our focus has expanded from solely providing tools and supplies to offering a comprehensive range of industrial solutions. We have partnered with leading manufacturers to bring our customers the latest and most innovative products and technologies. Our experienced and knowledgeable team is always ready to provide expert advice and support, ensuring that our customers make informed decisions.
We are committed to building long-term relationships with our customers. We believe that by partnering with us, our customers can achieve their business goals and succeed in their respective industries.
