About the CompanyEverett Eckart founded Eckart Supply Company in 1962. Before that time, Mr. Eckart was an electrical, plumbing, and HVAC contractor and operated under the company name "Eckart's Wiring & Plumbing". He found it difficult, as a contractor, to find supplies in Southern Indiana. Therefore, he created one of the signature suppliers in our area based on a firm belief in keeping a strong inventory and fully supporting the products we sell.

The Eckart family controlled and led the company from 1962 to 2001. Mike Bennett then took over the leadership and majority ownership role. Mr. Bennett led Eckart Supply through many successful years and expanded the business into new markets. Mike substantially strengthened the companys buying power by joining Affiliated Distributors (A-D). A-D is one of the largest buying groups for independent suppliers in the United States and a network of other successful independents around the country.

Mikes son, Philip Bennett, took over the leadership of the company in 2014. With a youthful ownership team of Philip Bennett, Chad Coffman, Chris Kellem, Jeff Davis, and Mike Bennett, Eckart Supply has positioned itself for even more growth with the same original values and principles in mind.

Today, Eckart Supply strives to provide the finest quality products to contractors, facility maintenance departments, and homeowners. Our employees are highly trained and motivated to serve our customers. Our company motto of, Stock It, Know It, and Stand By It, is not just a saying, but a fact.
