Company History

T&S Tool & Supply Co., Inc. was founded in 1978 by Roger W. Thomas. To establish the business he worked out of his house on 2nd Street in Holland, Ohio. One year later he leased a 1500 square foot building on 1440 Holloway Road to warehouse his expanding inventory. In 1980 he purchased a building housing D & R Machine at 1154 Clarion Avenue in Holland and remained in that location until 1994. While at the Clarion Avenue location, Roger expanded the building several times until he could expand no longer! He added additional warehouse space, a retail area, new office's, etc. Then in the early 90's he purchased a 1-1/4 acre lot at 7341 Airport Highway.

Roger designed a building to fully take advantage of the property and it's location. The final plans called for a 15,965 square foot building to be constructed in two phases. Phase I would house T & S. It's basic floor plan would be 11,400 square feet, but would have two-story capabilities. Thus for further expansion, 22,800 square feet of floor space could be fully utilized. Phase II would house three rental units; to be used by T & S for office space or storage areas if needed, or as rental space for retail stores or office units as a result of the high traffic area.

Phase I was completed in late 1994 and the move was fully completed by January of 1995. Phase II was completed in June of 1998 and all three units were leased within the year.

Company Management Team

President and Founder, Roger Thomas has an extensive background in industrial machinery and tooling. He grew up around machinery and tooling and wanted to pursue a degree in education, but the dream of owning his own business interfered with that goal. With teaching in his blood, Roger has taught business classes and economic classes at some of the local schools. Roger has also lectured at several vocational schools on industrial cutting tools and related products, as well as served on advisory committees to these local schools and colleges. With Roger's background he can recommend basic speeds and feeds on most machining applications, along with the proper tooling requirements.

Roger has also been very active in the community. He was elected by his peers to serve on the very first Board of Directors for the Holland-Springfield Chamber of Commerce. He also was Co-Founder and Charter President of the Holland-Springfield Rotary Club. With two sons, Roger has coached about 20 different athletic teams, from baseball to basketball to soccer. Roger has also been nominated twice for Entrepreneur of the Year in Northwestern Ohio, and was a finalist in 1991.

The management team at T&S, without a doubt, is the big reason for the company's continued success!
