Services

More Than a Supplier — A Service Partner

We describe ourselves the way our customers do: a small, service-oriented distributor that goes the extra mile. These are the services that prove it.

Bin Stocking Programs

We set up and maintain your bins of fasteners and consumables on a regular cycle — counted, filled and organized by our team, so your crew never runs a line dry over a missing fitting.

The Boot Truck

Steel-toe compliance without the shoe-store runaround. Our boot truck rolls up to your facility with a full line of boots and fits your team on site, on shift.

Local Delivery

Fast local delivery across a roughly 40-mile radius of Mansfield — Norwalk to Ashland, Mount Vernon to Marion. Seasonal bulk included: pallets of ice melter in the cold months, pallets of water in the heat.

Safety Program Support

From fall protection by FallTech to air movement by Big Ass Fans, we help plants build out safety programs with the right gear — and keep it in stock as you grow.

Since 1940

Three Generations of Keeping Plants Moving

MHS started in 1940 as Mansfield Hardware and Supply — a name plenty of locals still remember. About fifteen years ago the name became MHS Industrial Supply, to say plainly what the company had long been: a distributor focused on industry, not a hardware store.

Today the third generation of the Downs family — President Jeff Downs, with Brad and Ashley — runs the company from 70 Sawyer Parkway, out by the airport in Mansfield’s industrial park. The formula hasn’t changed since 1940: know your customers, stock what they need, and show up when it matters.

That’s how a small, service-oriented distributor earns a Small Business of the Year award — and how it keeps the region’s manufacturers moving forward, one delivery at a time.
