Active Plumbing Supply is pleased to announce the acquisition of Schaefer Plumbing Supply, headquartered in Buffalo, New York.

Founded in 1891, Schaefer Plumbing Supply has built a longstanding reputation for providing quality products and exceptional service to professional installers throughout Western New York. As a wholesale distributor serving the plumbing, heating, cooling, and piping industries, Schaefer is proud to be part of an industry that plays an essential role in protecting the health, safety, and comfort of communities across the nation.

The partnership between Active Plumbing Supply and Schaefer Plumbing Supply expands Active’s scale and geographic reach while adding greater market density, product diversification, and strong HVAC partnerships. The acquisition further strengthens Active’s position across its existing markets while providing opportunities for continued growth throughout Western New York.

Mark Dietrick, President of Schaefer Plumbing Supply, said, “We have many things in common as independent, family-owned companies in the plumbing and heating industry. We expect business as usual, and our customers and partners can be confident that the Dietrick family is not going anywhere. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and building on the strong foundation Schaefer has established over the years.”

Bryce Barber, Director of Sales at Active Plumbing Supply, said, “We are excited to announce this partnership with Schaefer Plumbing Supply. Schaefer has a tremendous history in Western New York, supported by strong customer and vendor relationships. We are excited about what this expansion brings to the future of Active. The management team at Schaefer is exceptional, and we look forward to a bright future together.”
