JLK Direct Distribution Inc.
 PROFILE
JLK Direct Distribution sells tools by the truckload. The company, a subsidiary of heavy-duty tool maker Kennametal, distributes some 145,000 different metalworking tools and supplies, including hand tools, cutting tools, and machine tools; abrasives; drills; and industrial metal-working equipment. JLK Direct Distribution purchases tools from Kenametal and about 800 other manufacturers, then markets the tools under the JLK Direct, JLK, J&L, Full Service Supply, FSS, and Kennametal brands. The company uses catalogs, telemarketing, and showrooms to reach customers in the US and Europe. JLK Direct Distribution's divesture of its Strong Tool Co. steel mill business has led to lower sales and profits.
