ABOUT US

The Bostwick-Braun Company is a family of hardware, industrial, and specialty distribution companies directly supporting customers in 22 states. Bostwick-Braun, in its original form, was founded in 1855. For many generations, it has evolved and prospered because of the hard work, dedication, and integrity of the people who make up the company. From the top down, every person at Bostwick-Braun has a stake in its success, and everyone is empowered to react to customers’ needs. This level of personal service has been the foundation for a company that continues to grow and excel in this industry. Over the past decade, The Bostwick-Braun Company has acquired other distributors and specialty industrial companies, including JMC Sales & Engineering. These new “family members” were chosen with due diligence and sought out because they shared the same values and principles as the original company. They were brought under the Bostwick-Braun “umbrella” because they were determined to broaden the selection and capabilities that we were able to offer our customers.

JMC Sales & Engineering has evolved into one of the leading industrial distributors in the heartland of the Midwest with a core commitment of offering technical support and quality tooling, along with a full array of tooling accessories. Over time, JMC Sales had the vision to expand into the saw blade business and decided the only way to be the best was to become an authorized Lenox Welding Center. With state-of-the-art equipment, a variety of widths, tooth configurations, and blade materials available, JMC can customize any blade to fit your needs. Our services include vendor-managed programs, consignment stocking programs, and vending solutions, just to name a few. We have programs tailored to our customer’s needs and applications. With new lines of products and services obtained through our corporate partnership, we can offer our customers comprehensive solutions to their indirect supply needs while still providing a Midwestern personal touch.
