Founded in 1923 by Samuel White, White’s Plumbing Supplies has spent a century as a respected leader in the kitchen and bath fixtures industry. As a fourth-generation family-owned business, it prides itself on being one of the longest-standing independent providers in the United States. With origins in a small hardware store on Grand Avenue in New Haven, the company has evolved significantly over the years. In 1946, it transitioned to focus exclusively on kitchen and bath fixtures, rebranding from White’s Hardware to White’s Plumbing Supplies. Notably, in 1967, it became the first plumbing supplier in Connecticut to sell directly to the public, marking a significant milestone in making quality plumbing products more accessible. Today, the company operates a comprehensive showroom featuring a curated selection of quality materials and fixtures, complemented by reliable counter services for trade partners. White's Plumbing Supplies launched its private label, Whitehaus Collection, in 1995, which emphasizes high-end offerings available nationally. The commitment to customer satisfaction remains steadfast, exemplifying their core value: providing the highest level of personal service alongside a demarcated selection of products. As they celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2023, the company recognizes the importance of long-term relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees alike and looks forward to continuing to serve both established and new clients in the years to come.
