DISTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT: CLARK & OSBORNE- INDIANA
Founded in the late 1940s, Clark & Osborne (C&O) began as a manufacturers’ representative firm and gradually evolved into a leading distributor in the tool & die industry. Through successive generations of family leadership, C&O played an important role in advancing the acceptance of standardized die components, helping modernize an industry once resistant to “store bought” solutions.
As demand grew, C&O expanded its focus to support tool & die making, mold making, special machine building, jigs & fixtures, steadily increasing inventory, personnel, and geographic reach. The company’s growth mirrored the evolution of the manufacturing sector it serves, overcoming early challenges through persistence, technical knowledge, and strong customer relationships.
Since 2016, C&O has partnered with Integrity Fab & Machine as its die set manufacturer in Indiana, strengthening its ability to deliver reliable, high quality solutions to customers.
Now transitioning into its fourth generation of family ownership, C&O continues to prosper with trained field sales professionals serving customers, supported by experienced teams in customer service, warehousing, accounting, and operations.
