History
Wilco's founder, HD Williams, was involved in the industry in the 1940's, working first for his father and brother in a retail hardware store, then breaking off to form his own business. Wilco sold various hardware store items, including towel bars, cabinet locks and keys. Over the years, Wilco adapted and evolved to buyer need and became a wholesale distributor--first of household items and basic keys and locks--and later, to modern security devices such as panic bars, keypad locks, and safes with state-of-the-art touch screens. Wilco Supply remains committed to old fashioned values. Wilco: A family business offering the new products you want with the old-fashioned values you crave. Wilco Supply was acquired by IDN-Inc on 11/2/2015 and is now known as IDN-Wilco.
