Carr Hardware Featured in International Publication
 |
Carr Hardware & Supply Co., with four locations in Berkshire County, has been featured in the November issue of Hardware Retailing Magazine.
Carr Hardware, one of the five independently owned hardware stores featured, is being recognized for its strong niche business operations. The focus of the article brought light to the success of the Carr’s MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) and rental businesses.
Carr’s MRO, doing business as “Carr Supply,” specializes in institutional, government, industrial and large contractor customers. Carr Rental, located at the Pittsfield, Lee and North Adams branches, offers rental of general tools, contractor equipment as well as party and tent rental.
The international industry publication interviewed Vice President and Co-Owner Bart Raser, who spoke about the various transitions of the business since Carr Hardware opened in 1928.
“We are extremely proud to be recognized by the leading publication in our industry for doing what we love to do everyday – sell hardware,” Raser said.
Carr Hardware is a locally owned and operated hardware and industrial supplier that provides to homeowners, contractors, commercial customers, institutions and government agencies throughout the state of Massachusetts and the surrounding areas of New York state, Vermont and Connecticut. In addition, Carr is a major supplier for the Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium and one of the select vendors that hold a statewide industrial contract with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Originally founded by Sam Carr in 1928, the company was purchased by the Raser family in 1962 and day-to-day operations are still handled by Marshall and his son, Bart. Carr Hardware has built a successful operation throughout Berkshire County and employs more than 80 career professionals within its four locations.
