The story behind the donkey goes back to our founders of Action Supply. They had deliberated for a while on what should be the mascot of Action Supply Company that best represents what we do. Lanny Williams the original founder in 1981 wanted to get people’s attention in a humorous way. 

 

Something simple like gears churning or Industrial tool logos was not going to cut it for Lanny. He wanted to make sure quality service was highlighted because that was what he wanted people to remember with the Action Supply experience. With quality service as the quintessential aspect of Action Supply, the donkey was born and Action Supply continues to deliver kick-ass service to this day.
