NATS 2022 annual spring meeting

June 10, 2022
NATS awarded CTA Tools, Lincoln Industrial, and Horizon/Calvan as outstanding vendors.

The Association of North American Tool Suppliers (NATS) held its annual spring meeting on May 22-24. It was attended by 25 participants representing 16 tool and equipment warehouse distributors with over 24 locations. Presentations were made by 27 of the manufacturers NATS represents.

Based on feedback from the vendors and members this meeting was the best/most informative yet.

NATS also presented three service and dedication awards to three outstanding vendors. The recipients were CTA Tools, Lincoln Industrial, and Horizon/Calvan. The much anticipated Monday night social event took the meeting to another level with a special after-hours tour of the Intrepid Air Craft Carrier, followed by a fun eating extravaganza at Katz’s Deli in New York City.
