About TISCO
Tractor parts and independent dealers is what has made TISCO a success for 70 years. Today the same holds true. TISCO serves thousands of tractor part dealers who consider us their first choice and single source for high quality replacement parts.
TISCO started in 1937 out of the trunk of Ben Calmenson’s 1935 Plymouth. Ben traveled to tractor and implement dealers during the depression with whatever parts he could get his hands on. After a year of working out of his car, Ben secured a space in the Ryan Building in St. Paul, Minnesota and TISCO had its first home. The early years were primarily spent selling carburetor repair parts. Soon after, TISCO hired a machinist and began manufacturing its own parts. During the post WWII agricultural boom, demand for quality replacement parts grew as did the TISCO line of parts.
By 1958, TISCO was growing rapidly and to meet customers’ needs, decided to place a very thorough effort and focus on order fulfillment and logistics. As a result, the first distribution center opened in North Hollywood, California. With a fast growing product offering, it soon became clear that more distribution centers were needed.
Today, TISCO is a division of Woods Equipment Company, and has its corporate office in Roseville, MN. This location takes care of the day-to-day operations of TISCO dealers and independent repair shops. TISCO operates regional distribution centers strategically located throughout North America and is kept busy maintaining, picking, and professionally shipping over 37,000 different parts to our dealers. TISCO professionals strive to ship all orders the same day they are received.
TISCO employs the largest professional sales force in the agricultural parts industry to ensure all of their customers receive the personal service they deserve. TISCO Territory Manager’s are not independent sales reps, they are TISCO employees. Many of these Territory Managers and other TISCO employees that have been around for 20 years and more.
