Ohio Tool Systems was started in 1974 by Jack and his founding partner Ed Hoyle. Jack became sole owner in 2001. Formerly a Regional Manager with Ingersoll Rand, Jack moved all over the US with IR, and finally settled back in his home state of Ohio. The boom time of the 70’s and 80’s brought a lot of growth to the business and eventually he was joined by his two sons, Greg and Eric.
John joined Ohio Tool Systems in 2021 as a general manager. John is responsible for business operations; developing functional capabilities and aligning our efforts with the manufacturers we represent to deliver customer satisfaction. John graduated from Purdue University and worked for Ingersoll Rand and Trane as a product manager before joining Ohio Tool Systems.
Eric established our Mid State Industrial branch in Columbus, OH in 1986 after graduating from Bowling Green State University. Eric leads our sales team and over his time has guided Ohio Tool System's transformation into a premier provider of industrial equipment solutions including his own personal expertise in precision fastening solutions.
We are deeply grateful to our customers and vendor partners for trusting us as the bridge between technical potential and real-world results. Since our founding, our priority has remained the same: to work with customers and vendors to turn challenges and ambitions into shared successes.
Our team thrives on the front lines of industry: from automotive assembly to foundries and mills. We learn enthusiastically from every real-world application and complex project execution. We keep our fingers on the pulse of manufacturing.
We represent the best in the business - vendors with masterful design, product ingenuity, and world-class capabilities. By curating and communicating we help shape the evolving equipment landscape, and we are here to drive solutions home.
We are passionate about putting the best technology into the hands of the people who deliver the highest return from using it—the engineers, technicians, tradesmen, and operators in the plant and in the field. Thank you for letting us equip your business with the tools needed to advance your operations and your mission.
