Würth Service Supply Marking 65th Anniversary

Würth Service Supply is celebrating its 65th anniversary during October 2013.

E.C. Seitz, Sr. founded Service Supply Company in Indianapolis in 1948. The family company grew rapidly, expanding to a multi-branch structure across the U.S. and inhabiting two former Cole Motor Company buildings, totaling over 400,000 sq ft, and a 10-story downtown office building.

Industrial Distribution magazine recognized Service Supply as “Distributor of the Century” in 1986, and a year later was named one of the 15 companies “who services customers best, industry by industry” by Fortune magazine. Other companies included Campbell Soup, L.L. Bean, Liz Claiborne and American Express.

In 1998, the company was acquired by the Germany-based global distributor Würth Group and took on the name Würth Service Supply. The company moved its headquarters to northwest Indianapolis and maintained its branch structure.

Service Supply will hold an open house at its headquarters on October 14th, 4935 W. 86th, Indianapolis, IN 46269.  Tel: 317 704-1000  Fax 317 644-0008.  Email: info@ServiceSupply.com  Web: WurthService.com
