About Us

Keller Industrial Products, Inc. is based in Rochester, NY and has outside sales representatives in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Long Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston.

Through our 80+ years, we have migrated about forty years ago from our roots as a distributor to our primary role as a professional outsourced sales organization (commonly known as “manufacturers’ representatives” or “agents”) of engineered components. Our first representation contract is dated in 1961, and that relationship remains strong to this day.

While 85%+ of our business is derived from our role as representatives, we do maintain a small active distributorship for products that are synergistic with our core base of “represented manufacturers” for OEM customers. This is often an attractive arrangement for innovative global manufacturers who do not yet have a US subsidiary.

Vin Nolan serves as President and manages key accounts; Vin Nolan manages the team and several key accounts; and Beth McCormick manages our business operations.

Vin is a graduate of the MRERF Certified Professional Manufacturer’s Representative (CPMR) program, a 3-year course of study, which is considered in the industry as a “mini-MBA” focused on rep firm professionalism and best practices. Vin serves on the board of directors within MRERF/IPA. Vin is also an Electrical Engineering graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. We have several degreed engineers and MBA’s on staff.

Keller manages an overall territory of 15,000+ customers with buying history, and 100+ AHTD and PTDA distributor branches. Approximately 65% of our sales are sold “direct” to the customer, and approximately 80% of our sales are OEM-based.

Our business development and applications specialists are conveniently located in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Long Island, and Boston.

We are also members of this leading consortium of robotic innovators, start-ups, and OEM’s.

 
 

We were featured in June 2019’s issue of Agency Sales Magazine

”Looking for an independent manufacturers’ rep firm that possesses the attributes that manufacturers look for an MANA touts? Look no further than Keller Industrial Products, Inc. of Clarence, NY. The agency, now in its eighty-second year — and counting — can boast of deep roots in the territory it serves, not to mention a lengthy track record of firm relationships with its principals that average more than 25 years of service. Buried in that average is the fact that Keller can trace its relationship with one principal back more than 50 years to 1966. According to Greg Matthews, a partner in the firm….” click here for the full article
