About

About Northeastern Supply | The Mid-Atlantic’s Premier Wholesale Distribution Network Founded in 1945 in a cluster of converted row houses in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, Northeastern Supply has grown from a localized storefront into one of the largest independent plumbing, HVAC, and water systems distributors in the Mid-Atlantic region. Driven by an aggressive, forward-thinking corporate philosophy and an unyielding commitment to customer success, the company provides trade professionals with seamless access to industry-leading brands, advanced logistics, and unmatched field support. Operating under the guiding principle of "Working harder, doing whatever it takes to be your preferred supplier," Northeastern puts customer relationships first. We don't just move inventory; we actively partner with residential contractors, commercial mechanical firms, and industrial clients to streamline supply chains and drive collective growth. A Proud Multi-Generational Family Legacy The trajectory of Northeastern Supply completely shifted in 1964 when the company hired industry visionary John H. Cook III to manage its satellite branch in Elkton, Maryland. After running the facility with absolute precision for seven years, John purchased Northeastern Supply in 1971, establishing the foundational family-owned philosophy that continues to define our corporate culture today. 1987 (The Era of Expansion): John’s son, Steve Cook, took the reins as President. Under his leadership, Northeastern underwent a massive regional transformation, expanding its footprint from four local storefronts to thirty-one strategic branches across the Mid-Atlantic. 2001 (Logistical Excellence): To support this exponential branch expansion, Steve spearheaded the opening of a state-of-the-art Central Distribution Center, serving as the high-volume logistical backbone of the entire corporation. 2018 (Strategic Leadership Evolution): Steve Cook transitioned into a dedicated CEO role and hired industry veteran Stan Allen to serve as President. Stan has seamlessly advanced the company's aggressive growth strategy, scaling the network to forty thriving branches. The Third Generation: The Cook family legacy remains actively at the helm. Steve's daughter, Stephanie Cook, shapes the company's future as a Principal, continually enhancing Northeastern's deeply rooted culture of customer-driven growth.
