Now
one of the region's largest plumbing-heating-cooling
wholesalers, Aaron & Company began nearly a century
ago in New Brunswick, NJ. Founded by immigrant plumber
Isadore Aaron in the early 1900's, and incorporated
in 1932, the business began serving local plumbers out
of Aaron's basement.
Isadore's
son, Maurice, took over the supply house, then located
at a New Brunswick storefront, and moved it to a larger
downtown location in 1950. Maurice Aaron began to expand
the company westward, opening branches in Flemington
(1961) and Somerville (1970). Headquarters moved to
New Brunswick's industrial zone in 1979, where new partners
Frank Laudino, Jeffrey Aaron and Gerald Portnoy opened
the first Aaron Bath Centers showroom. A second showroom
was added later to the Flemington facility.
Under
the next generation leadership of Barry Portnoy,
Jeffrey Aaron, Frank Laudino Jr., and Richard Laudino,
Aaron
& Company added a branch in Trenton (1994) and
a full showroom branch in Freehold (1996). We opened
a new 120,000+ square-foot computerized central distribution
center in Piscataway in 1998, where our corporate headquarters
is now located. Four years later, Jeffrey Aaron retired.
In 2006 we renovated our New Brunswick facility and
created a brand new facet to our business; Kitchens.
We now offer design services, and an outstanding selection
of kitchen cabinetry and accessories. In addition,
the plumbing showroom in New Brunswick was renovated
and all of the showrooms have been renamed to become:
The "Aaron Kitchen and Bath Design Gallery"
Today,
Aaron and Company employs over 175 people at it's
six location including the three that house the Aaron
Kitchen and Bath Design Gallery showrooms. We are
now considered the largest independent wholesale
distributor of plumbing, heating, and cooling products
in New Jersey.
