ABOUT LONE STAR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY
Industry pros you can trust — now and for years down the road
Has this happened to you? Your company needs a new shipment of tools and equipment to stay on task and safe in the field. The first thing you do is try to navigate your way through a busy, outdated, and confusing online distributor catalog. Many of the supplies you need are there and ready to buy, but others aren’t. On top of that, you only need X number of tools, not Y, and a more customized solution for a specific problem. But you run into a brick wall online and can’t get any support in person or over the phone. Wouldn’t it be nice to work with a distributor who not only has the tools and solutions you need right now but has also been in your shoes and isn’t too busy or far away to offer unrivaled on-site support when problems arise?
Lone Star Industrial Supply in Rhome, Texas, was founded so that you have more control and peace of mind over your job site and an industry professional to turn to when it matters most. We have over two decades of hands-on experience in supplying tools and building relationships with manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers all over the country. That experience also affords us a superior understanding of how your company ticks and what it needs right now to be successful.
