McMillan team reviewing an order

Our story

A handshake business in a digital age.

Thomas McMillan opened the company out of a single bay on Neowash Road in 2004 with one delivery van, a folding table and a list of forty local customers. Two decades later we still operate out of Waterville — only the warehouse is a little bigger, the catalog a little deeper, and the customer list grew across three states.

What hasn't changed: every order is touched by someone whose name you can learn. That's the part of small-town supply we refuse to give up.
