Keller Industrial Products, Inc. was founded and currently based in Rochester, NY and has outside sales representatives in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Long Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston. We have been serving OEM’s of advanced machinery, robotics, and specialty vehicles, as well as advanced end-user industrial sites, since 1937.We migrated in 1960 from our roots as a distributor to our primary role as a professional outsourced sales organization (commonly known as “manufacturers’ representatives” / “manufacturers’ agents” / “a rep agency”) of engineered industrial mechanical-power-transmission and mechatronic automation components. Our first representation contract is dated in 1961, and that relationship remains strong to this day. We represent only high-quality, reliable manufacturers, whether they are located in the US or serving the US market from abroad.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, managing the business, team, and several key accounts. Beth McCormick manages our business operations and small base of distribution customers.Vin’s early career began as an engineer and project manager for a motion control systems integrator. He 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 (RPI), the nation’s original engineering university. Keller has several degreed engineers and MBAs on staff.Keller manages an overall territory of 15,000+ customers with buying history, and 100+ AHTD and PTDA distributor branches.
