 In 1948, at the
corner of 18th and Halsted in Chicago, Eugene H. Lynn opened the
first of his three hardware stores. It was the third store
though, in Brookfield, IL, which would become the cornerstone of
our future. In 1973, the name was changed to "Lynn
Supply" and we began to actively pursue the industrial mill
and janitorial markets. E.H. Lynn Industries became a corporation
in 1976. During those three years, different customers were
discovered for the range of products that we handled and we found
ourselves selling more and more hose, valves and fittings to the
petrochemical market. In the early '80's, E.H. Lynn Industries
made a decision to focus on bulk
transportation carriers and nine years
later moved to Broadview, IL.
The summer of 1995
again brought about major change to the company. The sons (John
"Chip," Greg and James) purchased all outstanding
stock, thus establishing the next generation of leadership. Since
then, we have enhanced our sales force, instituted an ongoing
"Total Quality Program", become a member of
"Boston/Dana Certified Chemical Hose Distributors," started a rebuilding shop for much of the equipment we
distribute and opened a "Customer Service Center" in
Joliet, IL. However, due to our relocation to Romeoville, IL, the
Joliet Service Center has since ceased operations (June 1998).
With special thanks
to our major core customers, and over 500 other active supporting
accounts, our growth has forced us to move into a larger
facility in Romeoville, IL;
the move occurred in November of 1998 - the year marking our 50th Year in
Business!
