Our Story

How We Got Here

GW Murphy Wholesale started as a family business, and more than 40 years later, it still is. What began as a small operation supplying roofing contractors has grown into a 2-step distributor covering a full residential and commercial line — but the way we do business hasn't changed much.

We still believe the fastest way to grow is to take care of the contractors who show up at our counter week after week. That means keeping the line card stocked, answering the phone when it rings, and treating every account — big or small — like it matters, because it does.

Today, GW Murphy Wholesale operates out of Crown Point and Hammond, Indiana, and is a proud member of NEMEON. We're still family-owned, and we're still building the same relationships that got us here.
