Since 1935,
Columbia Pipe & Supply Co.
has been providing our customers value-added
solutions to help keep their businesses running. We are extremely proud of our long
history in this vital industry, but recognize that our history is not our future. We understand
that we live in a continuously changing business environment and must work hard to
provide our customers a better today, tomorrow and beyond.
Our value is in providing solutions that reduce our customers’ total cost of doing business
not through price discounts but by recommending products that deliver long lasting
performance, lowest installation costs and lowest maintenance costs. Furthermore, we
continuously seek methods to lower overall total costs in inventory management, delivery,
labor and purchasing.
Columbia Pipe
exists because our customers have confidence in our people’s ability to
become an integral part of their business process. As their trusted advisors, our customers
continuously praise our service through testimonials describing how we have made their
businesses better, reduced their operating costs or improved their efficiencies.
Our mission is to continue to make our customers more successful. This is enabled by our
strategic investments in technology to expand our capabilities to meet their current and
future requirements and our ongoing commitment to listen to customer needs and provide
the best solutions for their business.
Since 1995, we have been a part of the AD (Affiliated Distributors), the largest buying
group in North America with over $33 billion in sales, which puts us in a position of
strength with our manufacturers and provides us with numerous tools to compete with any
national entity while offering the flexibility to deliver custom solutions.
We are grateful for the opportunity to forge long term relationships with our customers
because we learn and benefit from each other over time. Our customer relationships have
not been built on a single effort, but instead through ongoing collaboration over many
years of working together. We embrace this with persistence and determination to create
successful results for our customers.
Because our most important priority is the success of your business, we continuously seek
to understand your pain points and strive to resolve them on an ongoing basis. Anyone
can sell commodities, but at
Columbia Pipe
, customer relationships that allow us to enable
solutions to business problems are more valuable, rewarding and sustainable.
Although we are proud of our past, we are excited about future opportunities to be your
trusted advisor by identifying the lowest total cost solutions, reducing your operating
costs, and improving efficiencies, making you much more profitable and competitive in
your market.
We thank you for doing business with us and welcome the opportunity to serve you in the
future.
All the Best!
Tim Arenberg, President

I have been familiar with Columbia Pipe for 30 years,
and we really enjoy working with our rep, who always
knows how to service our specific needs.

I think of Columbia Pipe as a partner, not a supplier. They go above
and beyond just providing good service and good pricing to being a
teammate during the entire design and delivery process.
