At Applied Industrial Technologies, we are proud of our rich

heritage of nearly 100 years of leadership in industrial

distribution, built on a strong foundation of quality brands,

innovative solutions, dedicated customer service, sound ethics

and a commitment to our Core Values.

​

As a distributor, we maintain a light carbon footprint. We also support a healthy environment by helping our customers reduce their impact. Where appropriate, we advise customers on energy savings in their operations, including conducting energy audits in critical areas like motors, belting and gearing, and developing innovative fluid power systems that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We also promote product alternatives that are bio-based, non-toxic and / or made from recycled content.

​

Building on our legacy also means being a responsible corporate citizen by implementing greener practices in our operations, promoting diversity, fostering continuous learning across our organization, and supporting our communities. We understand that self-care, mental health and emotional well-being are integral to associate health, safety and productivity – all are vital topics that have become more pronounced since the onset of COVID-19.

​

We also know the journey is never complete; therefore, we continue to have an opportunity and responsibility to further develop plans, actions and results that promote fair, honest and ethical practices across our business. Collectively, we recognize our business requirements and social responsibility as we continue to enhance our position as a differentiated industrial distributor and extend our Company’s legacy for many more years to come.

​

Through our commitment to operational excellence, dedication to partnership, and support for developing the potential of our associates, Applied® is focused on Working Together and Winning Together – generating success for all of our stakeholders.
