TULSA, OK (October 11, 2023) – BlackHawk Industrial, a market-leading distributor of metalworking and other mission-critical industrial products, is proud to announce its ascent to the 24th position on the prestigious Big 50 List.

The Industrial Distribution Big 50 List is a highly regarded annual ranking that identifies top-performing industrial distributors in the United States and reflects a company’s financial strength, market influence, and overall excellence in the industry.

BlackHawk Industrial has consistently climbed the rankings, highlighting its resilience and dedication to excellence in the distribution sector. In 2019, the company secured the 29th position on the Big 50 List, followed by a pre-pandemic leap to the 26th position. By 2021, it established itself at number 25, and in 2022, achieved the milestone of securing the 24th position.

BlackHawk’s impressive growth stems, in part, from its aggressive mergers and acquisitions strategy. The company systematically acquired seven prominent firms across the nation, bolstering its presence and expertise in the distribution sector. The strategic acquisitions included Pinnacle Tool and L.A. Tool in Ohio, JJ Industries and Jet Tool in Connecticut, Big Red Fasteners in Oklahoma, Cornerstone Supply in Florida, Intermountain Machining Supply in Idaho and Montana, and Thomas Industrial Supply in Wisconsin.

One of the most recent and noteworthy acquisitions is Tennessee-based Stock'd Supply, a company with eight locations spanning from the Carolinas to South Dakota. This strategic expansion reinforces BlackHawk’s commitment to offer fasteners as a core product line to both existing and new customers.

John Mark, CEO of BlackHawk Industrial said, "We are incredibly proud of our team's dedication and hard work, which has allowed us to deliver value that is unprecedented and propelled us to this remarkable position on the Big 50 List. Our relentless pursuit of excellence, coupled with strategic acquisitions, has been the key to our success. We are excited about the future and remain committed to being the clear number one choice for manufacturing customers and exceeding our customers' expectations."

BlackHawk’s position on the Big 50 List reflects the company's dedication to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Known as the “across the production floor” partner, BlackHawk delivers value through product and supply chain performance that lowers the total cost of production and markets more than three million products from the industry’s top brands with a heavy emphasis on metal-working products.

As the company continues to expand in the months and years ahead, it is actively seeking opportunities to acquire new partners and integrate them into its industry-leading operating system. Interested parties should contact the acquisitions team at [email protected].
