Sale of industrial tools and supplies

History

Established in 1983.

This is one of those ‘good old fashioned American success stories’. Owner, Tim Stearns began Ace Industrial Supply in 1983 at the age of 20, selling tools from a small office he set up in a bedroom at his parents’ home. After floundering for 7 years, in 1990, with his only salesman, rented office space in Pacoima, CA.

Through word of mouth and a rapidly growing clientele, Tim began to realize his dream quickly but outgrew his first office. It was time to expand! He opened an office in Burbank, then off again to Sun Valley, CA. where the company grew and thrived for 10 years.

Word spread rapidly that ACE was becoming the masthead in the industry and that Tim’s company was the place to work and thrive. Tim’s dedication to his staff was unsurpassed. His generosity, not just inside the company but throughout the community was well received.. In September 2003, ground was broken in Burbank, that became the new headquarters for ACE Industrial Supply.
