WELCOME TO AHB!
AHB Tooling & Machinery, Inc. (AHB) was founded in 1995 as American Hack & Band,
Inc. Our mission was to supply the wood and metal cutting industry with bandsaw
blades, saws, milling and turning machines. In January 1999, AHB was purchased by
Kevin Hess, a salesman by trade with 25+ years of experience in the metalworking
industry. Kevin expanded AHB’s product line offerings to include abrasives, cutting
tools, carbide inserts and fluid management to allow AHB to be a more complete
industrial supplier of metalworking products.
In 2002, we changed our name to AHB Tooling & Machinery, Inc. to more accurately
portray the “Complete Metalworking Solutions” philosophy adopted. Over the years,
AHB acquired distributors in Detroit, Troy and Jackson, Michigan, in order to better
serve and grow our valued customer base.
In 2004, AHB began making a significant investment in infrastructure to enter the
waterjet industry, where today we are one of the leading suppliers in the United States.
AHB is an industrial distributor specializing
in abrasives, bandsaw blades, cutting tools,
filtration, fluids, machinery and waterjet supplies.
AHB continues to take an aggressive stance in maintaining our leading position
in the markets we serve. This ensures better products, services and pricing for the
operations we partner with. These businesses represent the metal separation and
removal industries as well as Tier 1 automotive suppliers, military, aerospace and the
medical industries. No matter how large or small your operation may be, AHB can
provide solutions.
