In 2015, BSNC proudly acquired Alaska Industrial Hardware (AIH), Alaska’s leading provider of construction equipment, tools, and supplies. This year, we celebrate a decade of growth, diversification, and service through AIH.

With stores across Alaska, AIH continues to supply high-quality tools, hardware, safety products, and industrial materials to a wide range of customers—including government agencies, oil and gas operations, commercial contractors, small businesses, and everyday Alaskans tackling their own home and DIY projects.

In 2021, AIH opened its newest Anchorage retail storefront and fulfillment center—the largest hardware and safety replenishment hub in the state—ensuring that customers from homeowners to industrial operators can get the supplies they need when they need them.

Beyond serving Alaska’s communities, AIH plays a vital role in supporting BSNC projects and operations by providing essential tools and supplies to teams across the corporation. Importantly, AIH has created meaningful shareholder and descendant hire opportunities throughout Alaska. Currently, over 20 AIH employees are shareholders and descendants.

BSNC and AIH have also partnered to establish a shareholder discount program, providing shareholders with the highest discount offered to any Alaska Native corporation. The discount varies by item—just present your shareholder ID card at checkout to save.

As we celebrate this milestone, AIH remains committed to finding new opportunities, strengthening operations, and serving Alaska’s businesses, communities, and do-it-yourselfers for decades to come. If you’re interested in joining the AIH team, or to learn more visit AIH.com.

BSNC celebrates the late shareholder Ada Blackjack Johnson on her induction into the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame. Ada’s remarkable courage, resilience, and survival during the ill-fated 1921 Wrangel Island Expedition have made her an enduring symbol of strength across the Bering Strait region and beyond. Her legacy continues to inspire Our People and future generations.
