1940's
Harold and Norman Wolff took over their family farm in Medina, Ohio. After a few years they found themselves considering other options to support their growing families


1950's
The brothers started doing work in the plumbing, heating and electrical trades. They called their new business Wolff Bros. General Contractors and operated it out of the back of an old truck!
Harold was friendly to other contractors and would often sell products to them at a reasonable price. As there was not another supplier in Medina at the time, this was the very beginning of the supply business.


As the requests for products continued to grow, Harold and Norman expanded into retail sales. They began using the farm's old dairy barn and chicken coop as a place to store parts and supplies and turned some of the space into offices.
1965
The company was formalized as a C corporation, 1965 now named "Wolff Bros. Supply, Inc."


1972
The company had 6 employees and $20,000 in sales was considered a good month. Around this same time, Harold and Norman's children were graduating college and joining the business. Wolff Bros. Supply also dedicated its focus to the wholesale business in order to meet the needs of local contractors.
