Starting from modest beginnings back in 1945, Northeastern Supply is the definition of hard work translating into continuous growth. The Cook family’s roots with Northeastern date back to 1964 when the late John H. Cook was hired as branch manager, and then bought the Baltimore-based PHCP-PVF distribution company in 1972.
“It was a very small company back then; we operated out of a line of several row houses (townhouses) in Baltimore. I worked at Northeastern through high school and college. We didn’t have any forklifts or manpower, so it was a lot of manual labor and hard work,” says CEO, Steve Cook, John H. Cook’s son and previous American Supply Association president.
