Strategically located throughout the United States' and Canada's mining regions, United Central has become the largest privately-owned mining supply distribution company in the United States and Canada.

Since 1974, quality products, technological awareness, an emphasis on customer service, and dependable deliveries have been the cornerstones of our success. Our commitment to excellence, coupled with our outstanding performance level, produces a combination that makes United Central attractive to the most discerning customer. At United Central, we are committed to being the best mine supply distribution company in the country.

To meet our customer’s needs, a multi-million dollar inventory is maintained in warehouses located throughout United States' and Canada's coalfields and mining region. The warehouses are strategically placed as to facilitate efficient and easy access to that region’s mining operations. A central distribution system is utilized where branch stores are replenished daily from a strategically located distribution center. Through such a system, United Central is able to offer excellent service with an extraordinary range of products to even the most remote customer.
United Central’s inventory consists of thousands of items ranging from belt drives to brattice cloth, from conveyor belt to coal bits, from plastic tape to high voltage cable.

Mine operators have come to rely on United Central for a full range of mining supplies, electrical and electronic products. Many of which are offered exclusively by United Central. And while the largest and most recognized manufacturers serving the mining industry are represented in our product lines, we continually search for new products and services that may be added to our inventory to assist our customers in their operations. A prime example of our commitment to the mining industry is our Service Center. The Service Center offers an array of specialty electrical and electronic manufacture and repair services, including: belt starter boxes, mine electrical distribution boxes, radio telemetry units, and factory authorized gas detector repair and calibration.

In addition to serving the mining industry through our outside sales force, we offer direct over the counter sales in every branch store. We know that having the supplies when and where you need them can make the difference between costly downtime and continued operation. Our energetic, highly qualified sales staff and product representatives are specifically trained to discuss products and services offered by United Central Industrial Supply. When you meet our people, you’ll recognize the responsibility we have to our customers. Our people listen, keep current on new products and technology, and provide assistance and experience – or backup – on every product sold by United Central.

Through hard work and dedication, our team has earned the respect and trust of the mining industry. With a unique understanding of customer needs and appreciation for problems, which come up every day, these professionals are the driving force in customer satisfaction. Every working day, our sales representatives aggressively market our full line of products. Many companies offer mine supplies but few have been able to bring together the expertise, background, and stability offered by United Central and its sales team.

A vital part of United Central’s success is our ability to deliver on time. A long-haul tractor-trailer fleet transports supplies directly from the factory to our warehouses. From our warehouses, a fleet of all-weather trucks provide daily delivery service to a nation-wide trading area. As a supplier, we believe it is our obligation and privilege to fulfill your order quickly and dependably. Since United Central is a factory authorized distributor for practically every item sold, customers can be assured of product availability, technical assistance, competitive pricing, and on-time delivery.

From beginning to end, United Central Industrial Supply has the capability to deliver what you need—when you need it. Waiting to service your needs, our expert support group -- backed by factory representatives—will help you select the right product to meet your requirements. Providing information on new products and services can increase your productivity, safety, and profitability. This type of service is another way we add value to our name. This commitment has not gone unnoticed. The Industrial Distributors Association has recognized United Central several times with their prestigious “Outstanding Distributor” Award. We are dedicated to bringing you the finest products available at a reasonable price.

Tying all our operations together is our support group. Administration, finance, and our state of the art computer system are models of efficiency. Linking all United Central’s facilities, this system processes orders, controls inventories, and handles all financial transactions. Accurate, up-to-date information is the end result. This approach to information management enhances our ability to provide better service to our customers.

Quality, service, and your satisfaction always remain our most important objectives. We are constantly expanding, updating, and improving our product lines to meet your requirements, and to make your hard work and efforts more productive. We are proud of our company and we want to share with you our enthusiasm about a bright future together.
