ABCO

We are one of the largest independent single-source providers of industrial components, consumables and technical services in the East Midlands and surrounding UK counties. Backed by substantial local stock holdings in Nottingham, Derby and Bedfordshire — and supported by national distribution through our membership of IADA — we deliver the products and services that keep industrial operations running smoothly.

Our team of technical specialists works closely with procurement teams and engineers to simplify purchasing, improve uptime and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of equipment and systems. By price-checking major brand products, offering transparent costs and reporting, and delivering quickly from our branches, we save customers valuable time and reduce supply chain complexity.

Beyond traditional supply, we provide a wide range of tailored solutions that help businesses operate more efficiently and sustainably:

• Inventory & stock management solutions – from digital bin scanning apps to fully managed vending and consignment systems, designed to increase visibility, control and uptime.
• Procurement support – integrated e-purchasing, punch-out catalogues and data-driven insights that streamline supply-chain administration.
• Mechanical engineering services – onsite machining, welding repair, milling, turning and project support from our dedicated engineering centre.
• Reliability and value-added services – uptime surveys, preventative maintenance programmes, specification upgrades and technical training to boost performance and lower operational risk.
• Racking, storage and workshop solutions – tailored installations that improve traceability, compliance and engineer productivity.

Our commitment to sustainability and excellent service standards is independently assessed by EcoVadis, where we perform at advanced levels for environmental and ethical responsibility.
