Intercorp

What started as a fastener house more than 40 years ago has grown into a whole lot more.

Family-owned Fort Dearborn Supply has built its business around helping Chicagoland manufacturers spend less time chasing supplies and more time getting work done. Today, their
offering spans fasteners, MRO solutions, industrial supplies, PPE, bin stocking, vending, strategic sourcing, packaging, and more.

That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from decades of building relationships, understanding what customers need, and continuing to find new ways to deliver it.

We’re proud to have Fort Dearborn Supply in the Strong-Point distributor network. If you’re in the Chicagoland area, drop by their public showroom or check them out at fd-supply.com.

Q4 starts tomorrow… Is your fastener business where you want it to be?

If the answer is somewhere between “almost” and “please don’t ask,” now’s the time to tighten things up.

My therapist says “I need to be more secure.” I told her that I would work on it, one fastener at a time.

This week’s Distributor Spotlight takes us to Wisconsin, where Badger Contractors Rental & Supply has been helping contractors get the job done for more than two decades.

Family-owned and serving customers from locations in Madison and Janesville, Badger is more than an equipment rental shop. Contractors can turn to their experienced team for construction equipment, tools, supplies, parts, service, and the kind of knowledgeable support that keeps projects moving.

Their philosophy is simple: relationships come first. And that’s exactly the kind of distributor we’re proud to have carrying Strong-Point fasteners. If you’re in Wisconsin, stop in and see the Badger team or visit BadgerContractorsRental.com.

It might be the smallest part of the project, but that doesn’t mean it has a small job.

Holding structural connections together. Standing up to demanding conditions. Keeping the work exactly where it’s supposed to be. When that much responsibility comes down to a fastener, “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Choose Strong-Point fasteners from Intercorp and Kill It When You Drill It—every time.

Need fasteners? They’ve got them. Tools? Yep. Plumbing supplies? Those too.

This week’s Distributor Spotlight takes us to Mentor, Ohio, where DAK Tool & Supply has built its inventory around a simple idea: give customers one place to find what they need to get the job done.

From plumbing and electrical to tools, sandpaper, fasteners, and more, DAK Tool & Supply keeps a wide range of products on hand—including Strong-Point fasteners from Intercorp. If you’re in Northeast Ohio, stop by and see what they have on the shelves.

Two metals walk onto a jobsite…
