Northern Tool + Equipment

As we reflect on the aftermath of two devastating storms, it is always humbling to witness the selflessness and compassion demonstrated by the communities impacted by natural disasters. We are immensely grateful to the Northern Tool team for rallying to take care of each other and ensure that our communities and first responders have the critical tools and equipment needed to provide relief and support during such a difficult time. From overnight preparation of storm trucks to deliver the essential supplies to impacted areas, to temporary relocations to ensure the teams of impacted stores have the flexibility to take care of their personal needs, and everything in between; we are so proud of #TeamNorthern and how our core values show up in every interaction.   Our mission is to serve those who do the tough jobs, and we recognize that facing this level of devastation both at home and in the community is one of the toughest jobs out there. The customers we serve are the ones who show up first amid such devastation when the rebuilding needs to begin. We remain committed to serving our communities today and in the days ahead as those affected look to recover, rebuild, and restore.

Happy Customer Service Week! We are thrilled to celebrate our dedicated customer service team who is on the forefront with our customers every day, every interaction, and every call. The team’s commitment to serving our customers who do the tough jobs, solving their problems, and going ‘Above and Beyond’ is what truly sets Northern apart. The key to success isn’t just in offering great products, but in building strong, lasting relationships with our customers. It’s this spirit of service that our founder Don Kotula instilled in the company from day one, and it continues to live on today and every day. #CustomerServiceWeek #cutomerexperience #TeamNorthern

Seven years ago, we hosted our first bunk bed build with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP). Several hundred beds later, we remain a dedicated partner in ensuring that every kid in our community has a warm, cozy bed to wake up in. No child should have to sleep on the floor! Our last hosted bunk bed build event for 2024 was held recently where several volunteers came together at our office—powered by their passion and our unique tools—to give little ones the gift of a goodnight’s sleep. With over 600 beds built, 200 delivered, and 400 more ready to find homes just in time for Christmas, it has indeed been a great year of partnership with SHP. Giving back is at the heart of our culture at Northern Tool. Together with our partners, we are committed to working hard across various causes and creating a lasting impact in the community we’re proud to call home. #NorthernTool #GivingBack

Teams across Northern came together in June to celebrate Safety Month. Employees from our corporate offices, distribution centers, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities across the U.S. and globally made a commitment to fostering a robust safety culture at our company. From conducting emergency shelter drills and team safety contests to encouraging our employees to proactively discover and flag safety hazards, we offered an array of activities to build awareness and help cultivate a safety mindset. We understand that safety is paramount in ensuring the well-being of our team members, the comfort of our customers, and the success of our operations—it has been and will continue to be our top priority, today and every day! #safetymonth #safety #northerntool
