The strongest supplier relationships aren’t built overnight.

They’re built over years through trust, consistency, shared values, and doing what you say you’re going to do.

In the latest A Minute with Jeff, Jeff Haggard recently traveled to Montana to spend time with one of our longtime supplier partners, Rocky Mountain Twist.

Visiting our manufacturers gives us the opportunity to better understand their products, processes, and commitment to quality. Just as importantly, it gives us the chance to understand the people and culture behind the company.

At Haggard & Stocking, we believe the best supplier relationships go far beyond a transaction. When we partner with companies that share our commitment to integrity, hard work, people, and customer service, those relationships ultimately create greater value for our employees and, most importantly, our customers.

We’re proud to call Rocky Mountain Twist a trusted partner and friend.

Take a minute and join Jeff in Montana.

Yesterday, Haggard & Stocking was proud to once again be part of the 2026 Indiana Electric Cooperative Lineman Rodeo!

We are honored to support the brave and hardworking lineworkers who put their skills to the test at this event and, more importantly, put those skills to work every day keeping the power on in our communities. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to safety often take them into difficult and dangerous conditions, and we’re proud to support the work they do.

A huge thank you to 3M, our co-sponsor, for their continued partnership and for helping us make this event a success. We appreciate the 3M team joining us and sharing their expertise and safety solutions with the men and women who rely on them in the field.

It was a great day celebrating an incredible group of professionals. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us, and congratulations to all of this year’s competitors!

Last week, we had the opportunity to spend some time at our Evansville branch and celebrate the retirement of someone who has played a major role in the story and success of Imperial Fastener: Tom Judge.

While Haggard & Stocking has had the privilege of working alongside Tom for the past 10 years, his history with Imperial goes back much further. Tom was a longtime employee even before H&S acquired the company, and over the years, he became a familiar and trusted name in the Evansville industrial supply community.

People like Tom are a big part of what makes a business successful. It’s the relationships built over decades, the knowledge shared, the customers taken care of, and the willingness to show up and do the job right, day after day.

We’re grateful that Tom chose to spend the final chapter of his career with Haggard & Stocking, and even more grateful for everything he contributed to Imperial Fastener and the customers it serves.

Tom, congratulations on a well-earned retirement! Thank you for the years of hard work, loyalty, knowledge, and friendship. We hope retirement brings plenty of time to enjoy whatever comes next.

Please join us in wishing Tom all the best!
