The Story
There Had to Be a Better Option.
Elite Industrial Distributors was founded in 2023 after more than 30 years spent on the other side of the counter.
Before starting Elite, Rob worked as a technician across both the automotive and heavy-duty industries. Over those decades, he dealt directly with parts and industrial suppliers and experienced the sourcing process from the customer's side.
That experience shaped the idea behind Elite: industrial supply should be straightforward, practical and supported by people who understand what the customer is actually trying to keep working.
In 2023, Rob started Elite Industrial Distributors to build that better option.
