About us
Northern Tool + Equipment is truly a multi-channel retailer offering a wide selection of products — from consumer goods to industrial and construction equipment — to do-it-yourselfers, contractors and professional shops via catalog, internet (northerntool.com), mobile and retail locations. Our headquarters are in Burnsville, MN, and we have warehouses in Savage, MN, Fort Mill, SC and Arlington, TX. We manufacture North Star, Powerhorse, and several other brands at our facilities in Faribault, MN and Ningbo, China. With over 120 store locations across more than 20 states, Northern Tool has a strong retail presence in the U.S. But the Northern Tool experience doesn't stop there. Add in our year-round catalog offerings, a website packed with over 100,000 tools, curbside store pickup, nationwide delivery and a team standing by on the phone always ready to take your order — and the possibilities are endless. But despite the many ways to shop, we're still always here to treat you with that familiar, trustworthy customer experience plus the endless knowledge and support of an entire team of product experts online, on the phone, on the floor and in the field. In 2021 we opened our Hyderabad, India location. The hub in Hyderabad, India provides significant support to our business with a wide-range of capabilities. NTE India is an extension of our headquarters and expands Northern’s reach to find talent which supports our strategic growth plans. As we grow, we recognize having a global talent strategy is critical to the success of our business. The team in India is accelerating innovation to provide our customers with compelling new products and solutions. Our top-notch team bases every decision on six fundamental core values — Know Your Customer; Provide Value; Act With Integrity; Empower The Individual; Be Entrepreneurial; Have Fun.

Our employees recently volunteered at the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity build in support of their mission to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership and advance racial equity in housing. The volunteers had a rewarding and enjoyable experience on-site, as they spent time across three days, working with their hands and engaging in a range of activities from interior painting and exterior siding of a garage to filling nail holes and installing flooring. The team did more than just building a home—they also built strong bonds and cherished memories. We are proud of our employees for living out our core values and doing their bit in bringing affordable housing to the Twin Cities—because after all, homes and families are the foundation of successful communities! #TeamNorthern #NationalVolunteerWeek #volunteering

It is with a heavy heart we share that our founder, Don Kotula, passed away peacefully this weekend at the age of 78. Don founded Northern Tool + Equipment in 1981 out of his garage, but his passion for business started in his youth on the Iron Range of Minnesota. At his father’s scrapyard, Don would help source parts and learned the art of entrepreneurship. As Don grew his business, he found the key to building lasting relationships was to focus on the customer and deliver exceptional service. Northern Tool + Equipment was built on Don’s values that currently fuel our nearly 3,000 employees. Don will be deeply missed, and his legacy lives on through the great company he founded and built over 42 years ago. Please join us in offering our condolences to the Kotula family. In remembrance of Don Kotula’s life, the family asks that anyone wishing to make commemorations or charitable donations in his honor do so to the Northern Tool + Equipment Foundation benefitting the Tools for the Trades™ program, a program created to inspire the next generation of skilled trades professionals. Remembrances or donations by check can be directed to: The Northern Tool Foundation/Tools for the Trades™ Attn: Accounts Receivable 2800 Southcross Drive West Burnsville, MN 55306 Learn more about or donate to Tools for the Trades: https://lnkd.in/gKAc7Zrr

We are honored to complete a donation in honor of Dick Butkus as part of our Tools for the Trades™ program. Dick had a true respect for the trades and trade careers. Prior to his passing, we were working to partner together and give back to his alma mater. We made that a reality, and now the students of Chicago Vocational Career Academy will have a welding program to expand their trade learning.
