Welcome

616-454-1222 • 1-800-999-9180 www.CRESTONINDUSTRIAL.com

We are proud of our hard-earned reputation for excellence. Our sales engineers (with over 200 years of combined experience) know the industry well, calling on everyone from major international manufacturers to the local, single-proprietor job shops. We speak the language of corporate, yet we understand and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit of smaller operations.

To continue our reputation of excellence, our representatives attend on-going supplier training seminars and participate in monthly product classes. Everyone across all walks of industry has access to our knowledge base and we’re glad to pass along what we’ve learned. Our commitment to training extends to our customers, as our vendors and staff offer product seminars, specialized customer updates and comprehensive product training.

Creston Industrial Sales stocks thousands of tools and support items from hundreds of manufacturers, so we can guarantee that you’ll never be more than a phone call away from keeping your project on time and on budget—maybe even under budget. Our clients know—firsthand—what it means to have us as their partner; and, we work hard to never let them down. Our sales team and staff step up to the plate on even the smallest of needs. Our relentless pursuit of customer service excellence is what sets us apart from our competition and we work hard at this, every minute of every day.

Every day, the Creston Industrial Sales team talks to the manufacturers, the industrial engineers and the end-users who drive our economy. Our territory is national, right from the heart of western Michigan. We practice an old-fashioned work ethic that reaches back decades, borne of an honest and straightforward desire to be helpful.

ZERO GRAVITY

Independence is a rare and special commodity to leverage, especially in this day and age of mass consolidation, corporate subsidiaries, affiliations and multi-market saturation. Creston Industrial Sales is that rare breed of a local, independent industrial supply house that answers to nobody up the chain of command, because our staff commands the chain. We are the home office. Each of our sales engineers is uniquely positioned to size and leverage every order, every transaction and every situation to benefit you, so that your interests and bottom line are protected. Come see what our independent spirit can do for you!

LOCALLY OWNED AND FIERCELY INDEPENDENT

Our VisionWe will be a trusted, expert partner; driven by a passionate commitment to providing the best solution to our client’s needs. Creston Industrial Sales has the expertise and experience to be consultative advisors to our clients with a focus on delivering value by thoroughly understanding their needs, being hyper-responsive to their requests and building trust through consistent execution.

We will work beside our clients at all times, always in contact and always mindful of our client’s goals and needs. Instilling confidence and trust is the foundation of our business.

We will be an employer that treats all people with respect and compassion. Business growth and success is attributed to our employees and shared with them. The Creston Industrial Sales team will treat each other with care and compassion at all levels of the business, from ownership to the newest team member. This business exists to serve its employees, customers and community.

We provide industrial products and expertise to the metalworking industry in western Michigan. We act as an extension of our client’s team as product application and process experts so they have a resource who answers questions, supplies products and provides innovative solutions.

Our Mission

616-454-1222 • 1-800-999-9180 www.CRESTONINDUSTRIAL.com

SERVICE – We will be attentive to all client requests. We will demonstrate our abilities through our expertise, product knowledge, appearance, conduct, conversation and results.

RESPONSIVENESS – We will treat our clients as they wish to be treated, listening and responding to their needs while providing prompt responses to requests and 100% on-time delivery.

EXPERTISE RESOURCE – We will always be perceived by our clients as an expert resource in the cutting tool, fluids, and other industrial machining needs. We are the opposite of a catalog house; we are an extension of their team as product application and process experts.

INNOVATIVE – We will continuously identify ways to improve our process, products and policies to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients. Our clients will look to us as a resource to keep them informed of new technologies, products and processes.

COMMUNICATION – We will actively listen to our clients and vendors and respond in a clear, concise, knowledgeable manner. We will provide open communication channels to all team members of Creston so they can perform their responsibilities without impediment.

ENCOURAGEMENT – We will support employee creativity and teamwork to promote an open and collaborative work environment that encourages employees to excel in every aspect of their job.

ETHICS – We will always act with integrity and a sense of duty and obligation to our clients and will always be accountable for our actions. We will treat our fellow team members with respect and in a way that we would in turn want to be treated.

GIVING BACK – Contribute to our community and/or employees in need through the donations of resources (financial or time).

WORK ENVIRONMENT – Foster an enjoyable and rewarding team environment for our employees.

• Do your machinists spend time searching for misplaced or missing tools?

• Do you pay expediting fees for tool delivery?

• Do missing tools sometimes hide in machinists’ toolboxes?

• Do forgotten and obsolete tools remain in your inventory, with no benefit to you?

The above questions—especially if you answered “YES” to any of them—reveal the unneccessary expenses, headaches and late deliveries that can have a drastic effect on your company’s bottom line.

Nearly 50% of Creston’s daily business involves our inventory management technologies. “Friction-Free Commerce” for your tools comes from implementing Creston’s inventory management systems.

For more information, contact our inventory management team at 616-454-1222 or 800-999-9180.
