What Total Safety Supplies & Solutions does

Total Safety Supplies & Solutions (TSSS, legal entity S&S Supplies and Solutions, California) is a US-based B2B industrial distributor specializing in safety products, personal protective equipment (PPE), MRO supplies, fall protection, and respiratory and gas detection equipment, serving 1,500+ customers across Oil & Gas, Utilities, Automotive, Manufacturing, Aviation, and Shipbuilding. Founded in 1983, the company operates 14 distribution centers across the United States with 350,000+ square feet of storage capacity, holding 500,000+ unique SKUs sourced from 2,000+ manufacturers including 3M, Honeywell, MSA, Industrial Scientific, Milwaukee, and Klein Tools. The business is headquartered in Martinez, California, and is currently a subsidiary of Total Safety U.S., Inc.

The company's core technology and platform consist of a Billtrust-powered e-commerce storefront (igate2.suppliesandsolutions.com) and an e-procurement integration layer, underpinned by physical distribution infrastructure and on-site service delivery. Beyond product distribution, TSSS operates a value-added services portfolio including Vendor Managed Inventory, Vending Solutions (on-site 24/7 dispensers), Tool Room Management, Tool Repair, a Protective Equipment Test Lab (PET Lab), Turnaround Trailer services, Garment E-Catalog and Customization, and Ground Assembly. This product-plus-services model is designed to reduce customer vendor complexity, control inventory, and support safety compliance in multi-site industrial operations.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of safety and MRO supplies, with a growing recurring/managed services component from VMI, vending, and tool room contracts. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year enterprise contracts; no public pricing is listed. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a 1.800.430.8665 sales line, account management for enterprise industrial customers, and on-site engagement. In June 2026, Mill Point Capital announced the acquisition of TSSS from Total Safety U.S., Inc. as a corporate carve-out to establish the company as an independent platform, with closing expected later in 2026 subject to regulatory approval.
