You could choose Grainger, MSC, Fastenal, McMaster-Carr, or dozens of other catalog houses. Why choose us? Because...

RCH isn't a catalog house.  We'll forget more about industrial products than catalog houses will ever know.

Call a national catalog house and what's the first thing they ask you (after they ask for your account number)?  They ask what part number you want.  Without a part number to locate the product you want, the catalog houses are helpless. 

Our sales team is comprised of employees with years (average is 15 years) of industrial supply experience.  We can help you find the item you want by most any piece of information you have.

We have significantly less overhead, which makes us more price competitive.

Grainger has approximately 600 branches throughout the US.  That's impressive - but also VERY expensive.  Typically catalog houses operate on a 40%+ profit margin, which means you're paying a lot more than what you should have to.

Our inventory is based on your needs.

In 2009, Grainger boasted it had approximately 1 million part numbers that totaled 1 billion dollars in inventory.  Their approach is to have as much of as many items as possible just in case you need it.

We take a different approach to our inventory.  We learn what you buy and develop a stocking strategy specifically for you.

We have direct access to product specialists.

Have a special project you need expert help with?  We will bring in the manufacturer specialist at no-charge to look at your application and give his/her recommendation.

We customize our inventory programs.

We don't have cookie-cutter inventory programs we try to apply to each customer.  Each customer we work with is unique, and we offer solutions that meet their exact needs.
