KBC Tools & Machinery announces new showrooms in Illinois, Michigan and Mississauga, Ont.
MISSISSAUGA — KBC Tools & Machinery reports that its team members have been busy during the pandemic improving its warehouses, counting inventory, adding new items to its offerings, upgrading its websites, and creating a brand new showroom concept in 3 of its branch locations. Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and Mississauga, Ontario are all now sporting the new look and concept where industrial chic tries to meet manufacturing musts. The showrooms are open to the public from Monday to Friday from 8a.m. – 5p.m. local time and feature a selection of items for all MRO applications with an emphasis on metal cutting from all 13 categories that KBC sells: cutting tools, indexable tooling, fluids, work holding, abrasives, measuring & inspection equipment, toolroom accessories, hand tools, shop supplies, power & air tools, machinery, inventory clearance sale, and other reported deals.
Having the top cutting tools in convenient large blue metal drawer cabinets in the showroom also allows for speed in picking orders for clients coming into the showroom who have not yet placed their orders as well as the ability for KBC team members to easily offer clients choices from imports and other brands.
KBC says that its clients report that being able to look at and touch the tools has been a game changer for them. KBC also says that a popular section has been the inventory clearance area where apart from KBC’s regular value offerings clients can find end of lines, dinged and danged, and overstocked inventory of a wide assortment of products.
David Zagar, V.P. of KBC Tools & Machinery, spearheaded and oversaw the transformation of the showrooms from concept to implementation. David says, “We strategically placed our top selling products in each of our 12 different Product Categories, giving a complete overview to even the most seasoned metal worker. We actively showcase relevant items and useful time-savers, regardless of the application. We like to call it the closest thing to an in-person catalogue, or website. We cannot put all 100,000 items in our showrooms, however we selected the “best of” in each category to represent some version of a product line. For the full offering our website is still the best “go-to” in terms of seeing our full offering – however if you are in need of a product, our showroom and warehouses alike are poised to get you going right now – when it counts.”
