Wayne, PA-based contractor and industrial supplies buying group AD announced Feb. 2 that Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool Co., Inc. has joined the AD Industrial & Safety Division – U.S. effective Jan. 1.

Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool Co. — founded in 1969 and headquartered in Greenville, SC — has grown from a small family-owned fastener business into a full-line industrial supply house serving contractors, fabricators, OEMs, government professionals and industrial customers across South Carolina and the surrounding region. The company remains family-owned and operated today.

The privately held, fourth-generation business offers a broad product line that includes fasteners, hand tools, power tools, jobsite equipment, pneumatic tools, cutting tools and more — stocking over 70,000 items.

“For more than five decades, our family has built Carson’s around trust, integrity and doing right by our customers and our people,” said John Carson, General Manager of Carson’s Nut-Bolt & Tool. “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 purpose for generations to come.”
