A company that volunteers together, stays together!
A group of nearly 15 employees at ISSCO volunteered their time on Saturday, March 3rd, to give back to those in need at the headquarters of Harvesters, a Kansas City based food bank that serves a 26-county area. The ISSCO team wanted to model the company's leadership initiatives... to give back. After hours of manual labor, 13,000 pounds of food was sorted and repacked! In addition, the ISSCO crew dropped off 105 pounds of food and toiletries.
In 2013, ISSCO purchased BTM Manufacturing as the custom manufacturing arm of ISSCO. Having a niche manufacturing business such as BTM Manufacturing allows ISSCO to further its daily goal to be your full-service distributor. We work closely with BTM Manufacturing to manufacture bolts, rods and studs to your specified standard. If you’re in need of special parts, our relationship with BTM Manufacturing allows customers to purchase and ship both custom and standard parts on one purchase order, reducing customer costs. This partnership includes the manufacturing of non-ferrous products for those that need a superior corrosion-resistant product. We also have a wide-range of production equipment making our manufacturing proficiency the best in our industry.
Each month the ISSCO team selects an organization to donate the collection of funds from employee Jeans Day. In honor of American Heart Month, ISSCO selected the American Heart Association as a recipient of the donations collected by the ISSCO employees. In addition, ISSCO matched the collections! As a family-owned and operated company, ISSCO understands the importance of giving back, and does so each month. We are very proud of our team!

Our Vendor Managed Inventory solutions are designed with you in mind. Our goal is to work together to streamline your manufacturing processes.

Fasteners for Transportation and Hauler Industry
For those in the transit and hauling industry, like heavy truck and trailer repairs or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), it is critical to use fasteners that have been designed to precise specifications. Not only does ISSCO assist with these rigorous demands, but our full range of services have also allowed us to present our customers with an entirely new degree of quality and performance.
Some of the issues with fastener production and quality can be eliminated by using the design expertise of fastener manufacturers. However, not all fastener manufacturers are created equal, so it is important to do your research and choose a manufacturer who not only has the expertise and capacity to meet strict specifications, but also can incorporate design features that encourage efficiency on assembly time and cost, all while improving the quality and streamlining the process. ISSCO has a proven track record of providing support, solutions, and quality products to our customers for the past 43 years and counting.
