In 1947, Carl and Julia Carlson forever changed the horizon of the Fastening and Packaging industries. With nothing more than a $350 cash investment, a used file cabinet, and their own enthusiasm, Carlson Stapler and Supply was born.

It’s been over 60 years since those humble beginnings, and today the former Carlson Stapler and Supply has grown into a corporation employing hundreds of people. Through the years the name has been simplified to Carlson Systems, and the familiar “CSS” logo has been retained to symbolize Carlson Systems’ strategy of providing service and support to our customers.

Carlson Holdings, Inc. has three business units: Carlson Systems, LLC, Carlson Systems Engineering, LLC and Mid-Atlantic Fasteners, LLC.

The Carlson Holdings, Inc. Companies are extremely diversified and provide the highest quality in both service and products. From that initial location in 1947, the Carlson companies have grown exponentially with over 50 locations in the United States and Mexico. With a solid force of employees, we are positioned for continual growth in identifying better methods of serving our customers.
