So, you can have the largest inventory of high quality sealing solutions and tooling solutions but if repair and machine shops have to wait a week, how can they stay competitive? Getting parts the next day is a competitive edge! Kurt Kocik, Director of U.S. Sales & Marketing says, “You’ve got to work harder, stay longer, and do what you say.
Hercules remains the most powerful name in the distribution of aftermarket hydraulic equipment parts. Hercules has mastered distribution for nearly 6 decades, supplying superior quality replacement parts and last year they made another commitment to their customers by adding a large array of metal working products. Hercules now offers a comprehensive line of drills, taps, end mills, countersinks, dies, band saw blades, carbide inserts and holders, honing stones, and rotary thread repair tooling. Hercules is an ISO 9001 registered distributor, dedicated to industry best practices. Quality control begins at the loading dock with strict inspection of incoming products. From there products enter Hercules ‘Total Quality Management and Continuous Improvement Program’ to ensure all processes and procedures are performed accurately. Hercules’ 120,000 square foot facility in Louisville, Kentucky features advanced automation and a robotic picking system with 70 autostore robots and 12 pick ports with 26,205 autostore bins and they work from a large $17 million plus inventory. They process over 1400 orders per day, 95% on the same day to get parts and tools to their customer team next day. Hercules is proud of their associations with top quality tool manufacturers, and they now have their own private label brand of machining products under the name of ‘CLEARCUT’. These tools are made in the USA and Hercules has opted to go with high quality tooling versus throw away tooling. Hercules has also partnered with global powerhouses like Korloy for carbide inserts and Wikus for band saw blades. The combined Hercules inventory from seals to end mills is over 17 million dollars and maintained to support their vast customer base.
