Hajoca

Company Overview

Numerous theories exist regarding the origin of the name Hajoca...

Is a Hajoca a kind of historical plumbing device? That's an interesting thought, especially since we've been in business since 1858. However, that's not the case.

Is the name Hajoca linked to the location of its founding? That’s not the right answer. Hajoca originated in Philadelphia, PA, and we still have our headquarters close to the city today.

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: hence HAJOCA.

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