There are many theories about
how Hajoca got its name...
Is a Hajoca a type of historic plumbing fixture?
It's a great guess, especially considering we've been around since
1858. But that's not it.
Is Hajoca named after the town where it was established? That's
not it either. Hajoca was founded in Philadelphia, PA and we are
still headquartered right outside of the city today.
Was there a Mr. Hajoca? Well not quite, but you're onto
something now!
Our name is derived from the last names of three visionaries who
saw a demand for indoor plumbing (a relatively new concept in the
19th century) and vowed to make it easily available:
William H. HAines, Thomas
J. JOnes and
Joel CAdbury: HAJOCA for
short
Today, we are the nation's largest privately held wholesale
distributor of plumbing, heating and industrial supplies.
