Crouch Supply Company, Inc. began doing business in 1914 as Crouch Hardware Company in Fort Worth, Texas. With only one outside salesman, we served as a local hardware store and a local distributor for a limited line of industrial chemicals used primarily on the dairy farm. In response to our customers needs, we gradually added to our line of products which, in turn, opened up new markets to us. Before long we were aggresively developing new, improved products and greatly expanding our distribution. Today, Crouch has offices and warehouses in five cities throughout the southwest. Our growth is largely due to our ability to anticipate and respond to the ever-changing needs and technologies of the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, brewery and semi-conductor industries we serve. The most important asset our company has, however is its people. It is their energy, their initiative and their creative application of our products and services to the challenging problems of our customers that will insure our continuing record of ahievement.
