Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool joins the AD community
AD, the contractor and industrial products wholesale buying group, announced Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool Co., Inc. joined the AD Industrial & Safety Division – U.S. effective January 1.
Founded in 1969, Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool Co., Inc. has grown from a small family-owned fastener business into a respected full-line industrial supply house serving contractors, fab-ricators, OEMs, government professionals, and industrial customers across South Carolina and the surrounding region. Still family owned and operated more than 50 years later, Car-son’s has built a reputation for personalized service, deep inventory, and industry expertise that helps professionals find the right tools and solutions for every job.
Carson’s says it sets itself apart with a broad product offering that includes fasteners, hand tools, power tools, jobsite equipment, pneumatic tools, cutting tools, and more — stocking over 70,000 items to meet diverse customer needs. What began as a two-person operation now includes four strategic locations in upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina.
“For more than five decades, our family has built Carson’s around trust, integrity, and doing right by our customers and our people," said General Manager John Carson. "Joining AD connects us with a community that shares those same values. This partnership strengthens our ability to grow thoughtfully, support our customers at a higher level, and ensure our family’s legacy continues with pur-pose for generations to come.”
