Originally known to manufacturers in the Midwest, our reputation has grown in the Southwest, South, and RockyMountain regions, too.  

In 1989, McLaughlin Metal Sales expanded their products offered by acquiring Grenada Fasteners, a small cold-heading plant in Mississippi.  By November 1989, one more company was added in St. Louis, known today as Purchase Partners®.   

The initial purpose of the new company, Purchase Partners®, was to compliment our domestic manufacturing plant with a Full-Line Distribution Business supplying domestic and offshore products.  

The evolution of our business came one step further in 1991 by redirecting our business position from Commodity Supplier to one of Material Management Partner.

Through all of our products, services and relationships, we are committed to forging a unified and synchronized supply chain.
