IBC adds distributor, supplier
IBC announced the addition of Norchuk Supply Company as its newest distributor member.
Headquartered in Muskegon, Mich., Norchuk Supply specializes in the distribution of cutting tools and grinding wheels. Servicing the Western Michigan manufacturing industry since 1971, the company prides itself in providing quality products with the service and support their customers have come to expect.
A multi-generation family business, the company was founded by Charles Benedict and is currently owned by his son, Bill Benedict. The distributor’s day to day operations are managed by his granddaughter, Jenna Benedict-Scott. Norchuk Supply joined IBC after being introduced to the group by Radiac Abrasives, one of its key suppliers. “We’re a small shop that’s always looking for ways to compete effectively with the big guys,” said Benedict-Scott, Office Manager at Norchuk Supply. “IBC’s marketing assistance, training support, and the ability to be part of a larger organization were all big attractors for us.”
IBC also announce the addition of Tensator Inc., of Bay Shore, N.Y., as its newest Preferred Supplier. A part of the global Tensator Group, Tensator manufactures the Tensabarrier, is the world’s first retractable stanchion, developed to optimize space and effectively organize people.
