About Us

Maumee Supply, originally established in 1953 by Harold Stanford and Dale Heller in Perrysburg, Ohio, has a rich history that evolved over the years. The company's name, despite its location in Perrysburg, traces back to its initial plan to move to Maumee, Ohio. However, due to a rent increase at the intended Maumee location, the partners decided to stay in Perrysburg and formed Maumee Plumbing Supply, Inc. in 1959.

Over the decades, the company experienced significant growth and changes. In 1961, Maumee Plumbing acquired property in Perrysburg and expanded its product lines with the Eljer fixture and AO Smith Water heater acquisitions. A pivotal moment in 1965 occurred when Maumee Plumbing secured the Kohler fixture line during the construction of Bowling Green State University's football stadium.

In 1971, George Williams and Dale Heller purchased land on Eckel Junction Road, where the Maumee Supply company is currently located. The business expanded its showroom presence over the years, including the purchase of the Dowling Funeral Home for its first showroom and the acquisition of the Ed Schmidt building in 1980 for The Kohler Bath House. 

In 1982, Warren Rigg joined the company, leading to the acquisition of the Burnham Boiler line and the formal name change to Maumee Plumbing & Heating Supply, Inc. In subsequent years, technological advancements were incorporated, such as the purchase of the first computer system in 1985.

With every inch filled in the warehouse, and the logistics of shipping and receiving out of the same dock area becoming increasingly difficult, an additional 12,000 square feet of warehouse space was added in 2001, with designated receiving truck docks in the rear of the building and delivery truck loading in the front.

In 2003, Terry Wilkins, formerly of Wilkins Supply and an expert in the industrial PVF market, came onboard and facilitated the addition of the Industrial division. The company name was changed again to Maumee Plumbing, Heating, & Industrial Supply, dba Maumee Supply.

The company underwent further transformations in response to market dynamics. In 2006-2007, a 7,000 square foot expansion and renovation to the showroom was complete and reopened under the name Waterhouse bath & kitchen studio emphasizing unique and niche brands. Waterhouse is a destination showroom with more working bathtubs, shower systems, kitchen, and lavatory faucets than any other bath and kitchen showroom between Chicago and New York.

With the development of a Maumee Supply mobile application in 2013, customers can login to their accounts, check product availability and pricing, place orders, and more.

By 2015, a new Maumee Supply website allowed customers to access account information, place online orders 24/7, create bid requests, and develop material lists for easy re-ordering.

The Waterhouse showroom was renovated and expanded in 2019, with a focus on Kohler displays.

Throughout its history, Maumee Supply has adapted to changing industry demands, expanded its product offerings, and embraced technology to enhance customer experience. Today, Maumee Supply and Waterhouse Bath & Kitchen Studio continue to evolve, updating procedures, product offerings, displays, and efficiencies to provide value to their customers.
