Text Box: Who are we? The Bostwick-Braun Company is a wholesale hardware distributor, supplying both retail and commercial/industrial customers throughout a 10-state region. We are one of the oldest and largest full-service, general-line distributors in the country. Established in 1855, The Bostwick-Braun Company is Toledo, Ohio's third oldest business. Our reputation extends nationwide because we strive to give the best service the industry has to offer. Bostwick-Braun employee-owners are committed to excellence, innovation, and professionalism. We have been 100% employee-owned since 1980, which makes us the first hardware wholesaler in the nation to be owned by its employees through an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our employees have the incentive to deliver the best service possible because they own the company and get to share in its successes. The Bostwick-Braun Company has three locations with our corporate offices residing in Toledo, Ohio. Our 280,000 square foot distribution center is located in Ashley, Indiana and a 20,000 square foot branch office, distribution center, and showroom are located in Lorain, Ohio. Our Ashley Distribution Center is stocked with over 53,000 items, ranging from hardware, tools, paint sundries, lawn and garden items, and housewares. A computerized inventory system, an automated warehouse, and a large fleet of trucks enables us to provide our customers with what they want, when they want it. In February of 2001, we finished installation of our conveyor and carousel project. This makes us the first in our industry to use a fast pick carousel. As a hardware distributor, we are a pioneer when it comes to being ISO 9001:2000 certified. In fact, we have received tremendous results on each and every audit we've had since our ISO inception in 1997. In October of 2006, Bostwick-Braun acquired Steel City Products, located in McKeesport, PA. SCP is a distributor selling pet products, soft automotive supplies, and lawn & garden items. This has allowed us to offer a broader product mix to our customers. Click here for more info. We want to thank all of our loyal customers and vendor partners who have been with us over the years. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today!  w
