Eastern Penn Supply Company

What Eastern Penn Supply Company does

Eastern Penn Supply Company (EPSCO) is a B2B wholesale distributor of plumbing, pipe-valve-fitting (PVF), HVAC, lighting, and home remodeling supplies serving trade contractors and retail customers across Northeast Pennsylvania. The company operates eight branch locations in Allentown, Athens, Berwick, Mifflintown, Scranton, Stroudsburg, Tunkhannock, and Wilkes-Barre, providing counter pickup and warehouse fulfillment to plumbing contractors, HVAC contractors, and PVF customers in its defined regional footprint. Select branches also maintain retail showrooms serving walk-in home remodeling customers.

EPSCO conducts customer transactions through account-based ordering on Hajoca Corporation's shared digital platforms, SupplyWeb and SupplyZone, which require assigned account credentials for online order placement and account-level procurement workflows. The company also integrates Billtrust Invoice Payment, giving B2B customers online invoice payment capability tied to their distributor account. Branch-level operations include counter sales, warehouse will-call, and showroom retail, with the digital layer extending the same catalog and account terms outside of branch hours.

EPSCO operates as a subsidiary of Hajoca Corporation, a large privately held plumbing and PVF distribution group, and functions as its Northeast Pennsylvania operating company. Revenue is generated through traditional wholesale gross margin on physical product distribution, complemented by showroom retail and account-based digital ordering. The company does not disclose financial metrics, headcount, leadership, or capital structure in publicly available materials.

Broad incumbents

• Ferguson Enterprises: The largest US wholesale distributor of plumbing, PVF, HVAC, and waterworks supplies. Operates a national branch network and is the dominant incumbent EPSCO competes against in commercial and residential mechanical supply.
• Watsco: Largest US distributor of HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing products, publicly traded and serving both residential and commercial contractors. Competes with EPSCO on the HVAC side and exerts pricing pressure as a scale buyer.

Direct peers

• Winsupply: National plumbing, HVAC, and industrial PVF distributor organized as a federation of local operating companies — a model very similar in spirit to how EPSCO functions as a regional Hajoca center, serving contractors from local counters.
• APR Supply Co. Mid-Atlantic plumbing, HVAC, and hydronics distributor with branch density across Pennsylvania and neighboring states — overlapping directly with EPSCO's Northeast PA service area and core contractor customers.
• Johnstone Supply: Cooperative HVACR wholesale distributor with locally-owned branches across the US. Closely comparable business model to EPSCO for the HVAC side of the product mix, with similar counter/warehouse pickup economics.
• R.E. Michel Company: Wholesale distributor of HVAC, plumbing, and related products with branch locations across the eastern US. Directly comparable in product mix and contractor-customer orientation to EPSCO.
• Morrison Supply Company: Plumbing, HVAC, and PVF distributor operating branches primarily in Texas and the southern US. Compares to EPSCO on product mix and counter-based contractor service, though geographically distinct.
• F.W. Webb Company: Northeast US distributor of plumbing, heating, HVAC, PVF, and industrial supplies with a multi-branch footprint. Directly comparable to EPSCO in regional focus, product mix, and customer base.

Regional players

• Gateway Supply Company: Plumbing and HVAC distributor serving the Carolinas from a multi-branch footprint. Similar to EPSCO in being a regional, counter-driven wholesale distributor, though serving a different geography.

Others

• Hajoca Corporation: Parent company of EPSCO and one of the largest privately-held US distributors of plumbing, PVF, and HVAC products. Included as a peer because it defines EPSCO's strategic context, supplier relationships, and technology stack.
