About CTI Industrial Supply

Since 1987, CTI Industrial Supply has distributed automotive paint and refinish materials, abrasives, and industrial supplies to body shops, fleets, fabricators, and finishing professionals. What began as a single supply counter now serves customers nationwide.

Part of the Wesco Group

CTI is a division of English Color & Supply, part of the Wesco Group — a North American distributor of automotive paint, coatings, and industrial supplies. Alongside Color Compass, Kemperle, and NCS, the Wesco family of companies operates more than 450 locations across the United States and Canada.

That scale changes what we can do for you: broader inventory, deeper access to national and OEM brands, stocking positions that keep fast-moving items available, and buying power we pass through in our pricing. It also means the products you order online are backed by a distribution network built for professional volume.

What We Specialize In

Automotive Paint & Refinish — basecoats, clearcoats, primers, body filler, spot putty, and a full line of polishes, compounds, and glazes.

Abrasives & Metal Finishing — discs, belts, flap discs, grinding and cut-off wheels, surface conditioning products, sandpaper, and blast media for everything from heavy fabrication to fine finishing.

Wood & Furniture Finishing — Mohawk Finishing Products and other RPM coatings for repair, touch-up, and restoration.

Industrial & Safety Supplies — respirators, dust masks, gloves, cleaners, masking products, and the shop essentials that keep a job moving.

Tools & Accessories — power tools, auto body tools, and the accessories that go with them.

Alongside national brands, we carry OEM and CTI-branded tools and consumables — the same performance at a better cost per job.

How We Serve You

Our online store ships nationwide, with a storefront and support team available Monday through Friday. Local account customers also have access to delivery service to keep production running without a trip to the counter. Professional accounts can apply for trade pricing and terms through our Customer Account Application Packet.

Our Commitment to You

Whether you're an auto body professional running a full production schedule or a DIYer tackling a single panel, we stand behind everything we sell. Our reputation rests on product dependability, straight answers, and competitive pricing — and we'd rather earn repeat business than a single order.

Thank you for your business. We appreciate it.
