Managed Inventory Services
Since 1952, Lawson has been redefining Managed Inventory Services. What began with our founder, Sidney L. Port, personally delivering fasteners from the trunk of his car has evolved into a seamless, technology-driven customer experience. Today, we blend expert in-person inventory advisors, flexible inventory management solutions, and the convenience of online shopping—all designed to keep your business running smoothly.
Sidney’s relentless commitment to reliability, expertise, and service remains at the core of everything we do. Like him, we don’t just react to your needs—we anticipate them, ensuring you have the right products, in the right place, at the right time.
At Lawson, we’re more than a supplier; we’re a trusted partner. Whether through vendor-managed or customer-managed inventory solutions, we deliver confidence, efficiency, and peace of mind—so you can focus on what matters most. However you choose to work with us, we meet you where you are, making it easy to access the supplies, services, and solutions you need to succeed.
The products you need, the service you need, the team you need...are simply always there – even before you need us.
