Central Industrial has its company roots in 1913, when Central Electric was first founded. The focus of Central in our early years was to serve southern Ohio's electrical needs. Electrical contracting and motor rewinding were the first services we provided to local industry. Over the past 80 years we have evolved into the wholesale distribution of industrial control, electrical supplies, power transmission equipment, and rubber products. When the scope of our products and services broadened to serve all industries, we changed our name to Central Industrial Supply. We now service central and southern Ohio, and northern Kentucky.

Central has always been a family owned business with progressive and innovative leadership, which has transformed us into a full service company. We provide technological innovations in the area of industrial control. AC/DC drives, sensors, programmable controls, software, and a whole array of other products essential to today's changing business and manufacturing environments.

Central Industrial is dedicated to be the most effective channel of distribution to its customers by providing products and value added services in a manner that promotes strong customer alliances. This is achieved by a philosophy of total commitment of service to the customer. Our guiding principles include; integrity, reliability, meeting quality objectives, strong and dedicated leadership, and a highly competent professional staff. Central Industrial's goal is to provide 100% customer satisfaction, which will assure long term growth and lasting partnerships with our valued customers.
