Hajoca Corporation

Hajoca is about people. We believe that our teammates’ unique backgrounds and experiences are essential components for our success. We are passionate about fostering an inclusive community where everyone is encouraged to be themselves and to live into their dreams. Inclusion at Hajoca is an on-going evolution that will continually adapt to the ever-changing diversity of our workforce and those we serve.

Our current Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives:

• We have formed a DE&I Advisory Board and a DE&I Advisory Council to establish and prioritize D&I goals/initiatives.
• We understand that diversity, equity, and inclusion at the workplace starts with leadership. Leadership has invested in such initiatives and Hajoca has engaged external parties to provide workshops and launch an inclusive leadership training program.
• We sponsored and implemented workplace harassment training nationwide for all teammates.
• Our recruiting team targets recruiting events that are inclusive to Veterans, LGBTQA , women, and ethnically diverse students/job seekers.
• Hajoca attends and promotes industry-specific diversity events, like ELEVATE, which is the American Supply Association’s (ASA) Women in Industry conference.

Who are We?

Hajoca Corporation is a wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating and industrial supplies. In fact, we’re the largest privately held wholesale distributor of these supplies in the country.

We have hundreds of locations in the United States. We’re a large company with a rich history and strong foundation that offers stability to its employees. We enjoy big-company advantages, such as modern technology systems and a comprehensive benefits package. But when you visit our individual locations, you get more of a small company feel. Our employee teams operate like a family unit. We conduct business under unique trade names and our approach is customized, honoring what’s special about each local marketplace.

Our culture is decentralized. We believe the important decisions should be made by the experts – the employees who serve a community – not executives in a distant corporate headquarters. The people who love working at Hajoca are comfortable with autonomy and accountability, skilled at smart decision-making and relish hard work. Because you run the business like it’s yours, you get paid like it’s yours. A significant portion of each location’s annual profits are distributed among its employees and based on individual contributions. It’s a culture well-suited for exceptional people who use their talents to drive business success.

What's in a Name?

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

We Are Family
