Where backyard heroes are born!
It happens every summer. Somewhere down the street a fuse is lit and the sky fills with color. Neighbors step outside to watch and kids cheer from the lawn. For a few seconds the whole block shares the same sense of wonder. And whoever lit that fuse just became the hero of the night.
That moment doesn't really start in the backyard. It starts weeks earlier with a retailer who stocked the right product at the right time. For generations those retailers have had North Central Industries standing behind them.
NCI is a family business and we're proud to be in our second generation. Our relationships with the factories we work with go back decades. That history lets us choose products we truly believe in and bring them to our customers with confidence.
We also treat every customer the way a family business should. Whether you run a single roadside stand or a regional chain, you'll get the same attention and care from people who genuinely love what they do.
Our job isn't to sell anyone on fireworks. They do that all on their own. Our job is to make sure the people who sell them have everything they need to create backyard heroes.
