Hajoca

Company Overview

Many ideas circulate about how Hajoca received its name...

Might Hajoca be a term for a vintage plumbing item? That's a reasonable guess, especially considering our establishment in 1858. However, that's not the case.

Is the name Hajoca linked to the location of its founding? That’s not the right answer. Founded in Philadelphia, PA, Hajoca remains headquartered near the city.

Did a Mr. Hajoca exist? Not quite, but you're on the right track!

Our name comes from the surnames of three pioneers who recognized the need for indoor plumbing (a relatively novel idea in the 19th century) and committed to making it accessible: William H. Haines, Thomas J. Jones, and Joel Cadbury: HAJOCA for short.

Today, we are recognized as the nation's foremost privately owned wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, and industrial supplies.
