KBC Tools and Machinery, Inc., originally known as “Kabaco Tools” was started in 1965 by Karel Bass in Detroit, Michigan - The Motor City. KBC began as a catalog house selling surplus and English tools to the metalworking industry at a discount. KBC’s original home was 1,000 square feet of rental space on Eight Mile Road, right next to a Top Hat Hamburger Drive Thru, a Detroit tradition. In 1968 with business growing, it was time for expansion, after outgrowing the location several times, KBC moved to Eighteen Mile Road in Sterling Heights, Michigan – its current headquarters. With business booming, the catalog grew - more suppliers, products, and pages - and the clients just kept on buying. Always looking for new opportunities and challenges, KBC acquired a business in the 80’s in California, and the first KBC branch was born. It didn’t take long for things to come together and to see that the model could work in other locations. So, in the late 80’s, the first Canadian branch was opened in Mississauga, Ontario – just outside of Toronto. KBC had become international! Branch growth continued with additions in Oldcastle, Ontario; Delta, British Columbia, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, allowing the KBC model to thrive, grow and reach more clients. In 2000 we launched our first E-commerce site, and today we serve customers throughout North America - even as far as NWT and Hawaii. With a strong, tenured management team, KBC has established itself as a unique player in our industrial space with several main differentiators from many competitors. We stock and sell both Tools and Machinery and we have locations in both the US and Canada – and with our own Proprietary Branded Machinery and Tooling Lines, there aren’t many players that match up! With customer friendly showrooms our customers are encouraged to pop by any KBC branch to have a coffee, check out our many machines and precision instruments on display, and talk with the friendly team regarding their tooling and machinery needs. With over 100,000 items, from over 600 suppliers – we have some pretty cool stuff! Many customers have been doing business with KBC for so long that we know them by voice when they call, despite sometimes having never met them in person! These old friends know that their order - like every order - is important to KBC. Most important though in our success is our fabulous family of team members who make it happen every day and every order. Our team’s passion, determination, attention to detail, and care keep our clients coming back and spreading the word.
