KBC Tools & Machinery has been in the metalworking business for quite a long time. Headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan, the company is celebrating its 50th year.

Originally known as Kabaco Tools, the company was started in 1965 by Karel Bass, and began as a catalog house selling surplus and English tools to the metalworking industry. Since then, the company has grown exponentially, with seven different branch locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

KBC has an incredible inventory with the high tech tooling we need, in stock, every time, says Randy of Five Star Industries. KBC has been one of our best suppliers for over 25 years.

Last year, KBC Tools celebrated its 25th year anniversary in Canada. In 1989, KBC Tools bought its first Canadian branch in Toronto, and has since settled in Windsor and Vancouver, as well as many international locations.

The company continually worked to establish state-of-the-art facilities and products for its customers. Their Toronto facility is ISO 9001 certified and offers a showroom, warehouse, and the headquarter offices. KBCs facilities offer a wide range of tooling and machinery, both brand names and generic options. The companys Master Catalogue features over 100,000 items spanning cutting tools, carbide tooling, fluids, workholding, abrasives, measuring and inspection, toolroom accessories, hand tools, shop supplies, power/air tools, and machinery.

KBC tools has re-launched its ordering website, allowing for new inventory methods and ordering. New web features include expanded product information with diagrams, manuals, part lists, and more, current and sale prices, improved search functionality, real-time inventory options for local branches. They have also added tens of thousands of now catalogue items.

The company has had great success over the last 50 years and will continue to offer its customers the very best in tooling and machinery.
