We represent approximately 550 of the highest quality manufacturers of industrial tools and supplies in the United States, which we combine with an emphasis on value-added service and support.

    Our success has enabled us to recruit and retain among the highest caliber people available. We invest in the best individuals, then maintain an environment that keeps them challenged. Our combined sales, technical support, office, and administrative staffs have an average tenure of over fourteen years, and represent what we consider to be some of the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals in the industry today.

    Our management team boasts a combined total of over 110 years' experience in the industrial supply industry, and consists of David Hellberg (CEO), Chris Connelly (President), Corey Connelly (Vice-president), John Anderson (Arizona Business Director), Lynnette Hanson (Office Services Director), Chuck Gaer (Inside Sales Manager and Warehouse Supervisor) and Ian Noy (Warehouse Manager). We are proud to have been recognized recently by The Industrial Distribution Association (I.D.A.) as one of the best-managed general line distributors in the country.

    Our headquarters and Salt Lake distribution center are centrally located in a large industrial park at 2780 West Directors Row (appr 1100 South), Salt Lake City, Utah. Our Phoenix branch is located at 2910 East Chambers Sreet, Phoenix, Arizona.

    We stock approximately 13,000 items at our 14,000 square foot Salt Lake City warehouse, and approximately 6,000 items at our 7800 square foot facility in Phoenix. Our combined inventory value ranges from $4 million to $5 million.

    Our Salt Lake City staff consists of a management team of four, an office support group of five, seven outside sales/technical representatives, six inside sales consultants, one purchasing manager, and warehouse/delivery/service shop people, and an information technology professional. Our Phoenix staff is represented by two managers, five outside salesmen, and six inside sales/warehouse people. ATS is continuing to enjoy steady growth, and we anticipate the addition of new people in the coming year.

    Our large customer base ranges from small machine shops and fabricators to some of the largest aerospace and manufacturing concerns in the country. We currently have integrated supply programs and/or electronic order entry and inventory management computer linkups in place with many of these customers. We have forged an unusual partnership with the U.S. Air Force which is highlighted in an excerpt from its national publication.

    Currently ATS is leading the way in customer service and advanced supply management systems in the Rocky Mountain region.
