Our Story
For over 37 years, KOST USA has served as a trusted business partner to its customers, providing premium quality products and unparalleled customer service. Established in 1985, Tom Overdeck founded the business based on the brand promise that everyone within the company makes a difference – every employee understands the company Mission and Vision and how their roles individually affect the total organization’s objectives and our customers’ satisfaction. Our team works collaboratively and is accountable in fulfilling this brand promise.
At KOST USA, we recognize and seek out opportunities, take appropriate risks and make decisions that mutually benefit our employees, our customers and our suppliers. This is accomplished as we make certain that our work is aligned around our company’s capabilities and our Mission. We continue to consistently deliver on our promise every day.
