Diversity and Growth through Acquisition

Since its inception over a century ago, Irr Supply has grown internally, while external acquisitions in recent years have expanded our operation by leaps and bounds. Many of our locations are the result of acquisitions. Under our progressive business strategy, acquired companies retain their names, their identities and their loyal customers. Northrup Supply, an 8 branch distributor of plumbing and heating, based in Binghamton, New York, was acquired in 1982. Jordan Supply Company’s 6 branch operation specializing in refrigeration, heating and cooling supplies, based in Buffalo, New York was acquired in 1990. Irr Supply also operates Visionary Baths & More, our four states-of-the-art showrooms for upscale plumbing products. At Visionary Baths showrooms, highly trained design specialists assist customers in premium product selection.
