Founded in 1939 in Ohio – Moved to Florida in 1967
Carr Company was founded over 70 years ago by George and Edith Carr to sell plumbing products. Their first line was Schiable Faucets, Edith’s father’s company. George and Edith had a passion for the industry and quickly grew the company as a result of hard work, solid relationships and the desire to be the best.
Since then, little has changed in our philosophy. Plumbing is our religion - our passion. We have four generations of industry experience and we still believe in the basics: hard work, relationships and the unquenching desire to be the best.
We strive to bring the most value to everyone in our channel: manufacturers, wholesalers, contractors, builders, engineers and architects.
