Butler Bros. Welcomes J.H. Cross to the Family

We are thrilled to announce that J.H. Cross has officially joined the Butler Bros. family! This exciting partnership brings together two distributors who share the same foundational values: strong customer relationships, technical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to doing what's right for our employees and customers. 

A Partnership Built on Shared Values 

For over 70 years, Butler Bros. has served customers across the East Coast with cutting tools, fluids, abrasives, safety products, packaging, and integrated supply solutions. J.H. Cross has built an equally impressive reputation in their region as a trusted partner known for personal service, flexibility, and responsiveness—along with deep technical expertise that sets them apart. 

J.H. Cross brings exceptional strengths to this partnership, particularly in technical sales for cutting tools, in-house calibration services with a dedicated calibration team, and extensive experience in automation and robotics. These capabilities complement our existing offerings perfectly and open up exciting new possibilities for our customers. 

We couldn't be more excited to welcome the J.H. Cross team into our organization and to introduce their customers to the expanded capabilities we can now offer together. 

 

What This Means for Our Customers 

For existing Butler Bros. customers, this partnership means access to J.H. Cross's technical expertise in cutting tools, robotics, calibration, and much more. These are capabilities that will enhance the solutions we can provide across our customer base. 

For J.H. Cross customers, you'll continue working with the same trusted team you know, while gaining access to Butler Bros.' expanded product lines in PPE, safety equipment, packaging, and much more. You'll also benefit from our enhanced buying power, additional technical resources, and new capabilities in areas like vending and e-commerce. 

Most importantly, customers on both sides can expect the same personal service and local expertise that have defined both companies for decades—now backed by the resources and reach of a larger, stronger organization. 

Looking Ahead 

The J.H. Cross team and reputation aren't changing. They'll continue to operate under the J.H. Cross name with the same people their customers know and trust. Over the coming months, we'll be introducing the Butler Bros. name to customers, integrating systems and operations behind the scenes, but our focus remains on making this transition seamless and transparent. 

We're excited about the opportunities this partnership creates—for our customers, our employees, and the markets we serve together. Whether you're a long-time Butler Bros. customer, a valued J.H. Cross client, or a prospective partner in either of our geographies, we look forward to showing you what we can accomplish together. 

 

Welcome to the family, J.H. Cross. Here's to the next chapter!
