The rising demand for MRO support in U.S. industry
Maintenance, Repair and Operations - or MRO - play a massive role in keeping the gears of industry running. In the U.S., this sector supports manufacturing, logistics, energy, aerospace, automotive and more. The country is home to some of the world's most trusted MRO suppliers, many of which have global reach. For European businesses that source equipment or spare parts from the U.S., connecting with these companies can be valuable - but also complicated without the right support.
This is where KTB Europe comes in. We specialize in simplifying cross-border procurement by connecting European operations with top MRO Companies in USA while we take care of logistics, paperwork and supplier coordination.
A snapshot of the leading MRO companies in the USA
When it comes to industrial MRO services, the United States has a well-established list of providers. These companies offer everything from mechanical components to automation systems and consumables.
Here are some of the most recognized:
- Grainger - Most people in the industry know them. They have a massive catalog-everything from fasteners to electrical gear-and they've built trust by being reliable over the years.
- MSC Industrial - These guys are strong in machining and metalworking. They don't just ship tools; they actually help manage on-site inventory, which saves teams a lot of time on the floor.
- Fastenal - Provides vending and inventory services and distributes MRO goods across hundreds of U.S. and international locations.
- Motion Industries - A key player in industrial parts, motion control and technical services.
- Applied Industrial Technologies - Known for Fluid Power Systems, Mechanical Components and Automation Equipment.
These companies are critical players in the global industrial supply chain. But buying directly from them, especially outside the U.S., often involves delays, international coordination and complex compliance.

Our team at KTB Europe works with some of these MRO leaders to bring American industrial technology closer to European clients. With over 40 years of experience, we have developed a system that allows businesses in Europe to access American Spare Parts, Tools and Systems - without the long delays or heavy back-and-forth.
By maintaining partnerships with key MRO companies in the USA, we ensure smooth communication, faster processing and accurate sourcing. From single parts to large consolidated shipments, we take care of everything that happens between the moment you send a request and the time your order arrives at your facility.
Why U.S. MRO Brands matter for European Industry
Many European factories use machines and systems that were originally designed and manufactured in the United States. This means that replacement parts, upgrades and compatible accessories often have to come from American suppliers.
Challenges arise when: - OEM components are only available through U.S. channels - Local distributors have long lead times - Language or time zone differences slow communication - Customs and export regulations become barriers
KTB Europe solves this by acting as your U.S.-to-Europe supply chain partner. Our Logistics Experts, Procurement Staff and Engineers coordinate daily with American Companies to keep your facility running.

Procurement That Keeps You Moving
The goal of any MRO strategy is to keep machines running and prevent downtime. If a key part is missing or delayed, entire production lines stop. That's why speed and reliability matter. We've built our sourcing and delivery model to avoid this downtime - and give you access to U.S.-based stock and expert procurement without the usual friction.
No need to struggle with international purchasing. With KTB Europe, the parts you need are already in motion.
