Kelly Supply Company, with corporate offices located in Grand Island, Nebraska is celebrating 105 years of operation during 2008. Kelly Supply, which has 13 sales branches, is a wholesale distributor of industrial product lines that include pipe and fittings; valves and pumps; bearings and power transmission components; plumbing and well supplies; tools; electrical; and industrial hose and hydraulics.  The company continues to place a heavy emphasis on its technology and its web site, www.kscdirect.com, offers around-the-clock order entry and customers real time account history and current pricing. As a family owned business, Kelly Supply is into its fourth generation.

KC Kelly, Company President and CEO and part of the third generation, said, “The company is four generations by family, but by business structure, customer base, and product mix, it has probably gone through 12 generations of evolution and change. It is imperative that a company continuously make change in order to survive.” The only thing that does not continuously change at Kelly Supply is its tradition of long term employees. “This is the backbone of the organization,” Kelly said.
