Welcome @Bowman !! we're very happy to have you here on NORAMARK.
If you get chance, check out our blog post on how NORAMARK Networks work: https://community.noramark.com/topic/69/noramark-concepts-networks
This is the core concept that lays the groundwork for high-trust supply chains and over time we will be adding more and more supply chain management features, including projects, notes, tagging, etc.

Hi @Bowman welcome to NORAMARK. You must be super busy with everyone moving their inventory out of storage.

Hello everyone! My name is Jared Rudolph and I am an owner of Rudolph Bros. & Co. We are an Ohio-based industrial distributor specializing in providing products used by manufacturers worldwide. We work with manufacturers of all sizes. From small job shops to the largest of OEM's, we will support you.
Our main product lines included adhesives, sealants, coatings, coolants, lubricants, tapes, mold releases, and much more. We are brand agnostic meaning that we will help you find the best product for your specific application.
On the logistics side, we can provide support in many ways. We have free stocking programs that offer dedicated inventory which will eliminate any lead times. Being Ohio-based, we are a 1-2 day shipping point to much of the country. In many cases, we can provide same day shipping if needed.
Rudolph Bros & Co was founded in 1966 and has been serving customer faithfully since then. In June of 2023, we became 100% employee-owned. (ESOP).
In 2022, seeing a need for new industrial products, I started a brand, Made Here Co. We are growing this brand of MRO products which will ultimately "give back" by contributing a % of profits to local trade schools and work programs. Learn more here: www.madeherecompany.com
I look forward to working alongside the group. This community has an opportunity to do something great.

Hi @Jared welcome to NORAMARK
Made Here looks awesome!
Does Rudolph Bros have a way of sorting by country of manufacture?
A lot of us are interested in sourcing US only products.@michael-kornuta its... complicated.
For example, many products are made domestically but the brands are owned by foreign corporations (Henkel/Loctite for example).
However, we do have products made in America by America companies. I will have our team lean into the sorting, that's a great idea.

@Jared what do you think about American made by foreign owned company?
This is always a tricky one for me. Curious what others such as @UNITED and @CyberCityCircuits think about this.
Should NORAMARK include foreign-owned manufacturers of American made products? -

Welcome, @Jared Glad to have you here!
Rudolph Bros. has real depth, and it shows. The mix of brand-agnostic product support, fast logistics, and now the Made Here Co. initiative hits exactly the kind of value we’re trying to highlight on Noramark. It’s great to see folks strengthening this mission.
Employee ownership, trade school reinvestment, and a focus on actual manufacturer needs… that’s awesome leadership.
Looking forward to seeing you around here!

Should NORAMARK include foreign-owned manufacturers of American made products?@michael-kornuta We believe American owned companies would and should have tactical advantages through domestic knowledge and common goals that ultimately support the American people. United State of Apparel is a family owned company who takes pride in raising our two boys in the business with the freedom to dream, create and execute with other like minded young people. The Future is ours !
