KBC Tools Celebrates 25th Year in Canada

KBC Tools, Mississauga, Ont., will celebrate its 25th anniversary in Canada on Sept. 18.
“Our party on September 18th is an opportunity to say thank you to Canada for 25 wonderful years here,” said President Paula Bass.
On this day at the Toronto location, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the showroom will be transformed into a slice of Algonquin Park with decorations and food reflecting a camping environment.
From its beginning, the company chose to create a base of operations in Canada, rather than forcing customers to order directly from the U.S. through its 1,000-page master catalog.
“If you’re going to do business in a country, you need to develop a direct relationship with your customers there, and we chose to do that by establishing showrooms and stocking warehouses in each Canadian branch,” said Bass.
In addition to its three Canadian brick-and-mortar locations, the company’s website enables customers to buy tools after normal business hours.
The website also features a searchable version of its master catalog of cutting tools, carbide tooling, fluids, workholding, abrasives, measuring and inspection devices, toolroom accessories, hand tools, shop supplies, power/air tools, and machinery.
