Job description

Hajoca Corporation is one of the country's largest privately- held wholesale distributors of plumbing, heating & cooling, and industrial supplies. Founded in 1858, Hajoca is a company based on the principles of "Service, Integrity, Reliability," and on relationships of trust and support with teammates, customers, and suppliers.

Our PCs conduct business under unique trade names and offer a customized business approach, honoring what's special about each local marketplace.
