About OUr Company
INTRODUCTION
Since our inception as a stocking mechanical rep organization over 55+ years ago, Bush grew to specialize in the distribution of ventilation, air control, air distribution, energy recovery, make-up air and humidification equipment throughout the Tri-State area. With two major stocking locations totaling over 25,000 square feet in Philadelphia and Lemoyne, PA, we have positioned ourselves to better serve the HVAC trade with a large inventory featuring considerable product diversification.
Our organization has focused its philosophy on the founding principal of treating our customers as valued trading partners, continually focusing on strategic ways to do our part in helping with their business. It is our team’s vision to support an environment for growth, satisfaction, and success to all those associated with Bush.
Bush's inside and outside sales force work together as one professional team while maintaining the highest standards. Trained in virtually all areas of the business as leaders, our team is committed to partnering with our customers to ensure consistency in service and reliability towards accurate performance. Combining many years of experience and knowledge with a commitment to value added service, Bush has created a unique platform that helps the contractor meet plan and spec applications and design & build requirements in virtually all aspects of various fields of expertise. This is further reinforced by Bush's continuous efforts to integrate, expand and enhance the distribution and wholesale part of the business with our plan and spec division raising both so that a newer and higher standard in the industry has been met and surpassed. This process has been enhanced by the establishment of Bush Sales Associates in 2005 focusing exclusively on plan & spec sales and HVAC mechanical sales.
Bush’s representation of the industry’s premier manufacturers has helped our organization meet the many challenges facing contractors today. We simplify the process of doing business with a committed sales staff always providing service from the concept to the completion of the sale and well beyond. Our goal is to provide a comfort zone that makes the business process seamless. Incorporating a team effort at all levels, Bush can offer consulting engineers a viable option to specify with complete confidence, as well as offer the contractors a credible source for meeting the critical demands of today's construction schedules promptly and accurately. Our vision is continually to strive for excellence in becoming the premier stocking mechanical rep organization in the Tri-State area, unique in our ability to serve the HVAC industry.
We will continue to redefine ourselves as we work towards becoming a complete source and solution, for both the contractor and engineer, in meeting the challenges of tomorrow with vision and excellence.
OUR HISTORY
BUSH Wholesalers began operations in 1964 out of Brooklyn, New York. Shortly thereafter, operating as a branch office and warehouse, Milton Abraham began selling in Philadelphia, PA., trading as Bush Distributors out of a store front on Fairmount Avenue.
Sales grew rapidly because of the service and large inventory that was quickly built up. There was a major need of obtaining commercial grilles, registers and diffusers quickly for the contractors in the area. BUSH not only filled that need, but the company was the only entity to provide extruded aluminum grilles, registers, and diffusers in the Philadelphia trading area. Milton decided to move operations to a larger building on North Hancock Street in 1966 and eventually bought out BUSH Wholesalers of New York and established BUSH Distributors as its’ own entity.
With a strong work ethic and sheer determination, Milton grew the business and provided value-added service based on his principal philosophy of treating customers as “valuable trading partners and to be continually focused on their success.”
He would say, “By adhering to this principal, the rest would fall into place.” Sales quickly grew along with the manufacturers that BUSH represented.
In 1972 Milton Abraham’s son, Edward joined the company after graduating Penn State University with a degree in Business Administration. Eddie quickly learned the fundamentals of the business and assumed leadership in 1975 at the young age of 24, after Milton’s sudden passing. Over time, Eddie with the help of his mother Jeanette and dedicated employees, began to diversify BUSH’S product offering and expanded the company’s operations, moved into a larger facility, and increased the territory that was being covered. In 2003, BUSH opened a branch facility in Lemoyne, PA., just outside of Harrisburg.
Today, BUSH is recognized as a leading stocking mechanical rep organization known for its product diversification and services with over 25,000 square feet of warehousing capacity in two locations.
Throughout the years, Milton’s philosophy continues to remain the guiding principle and Eddie’s vision for the future will be to support an environment for growth, satisfaction and success to all those associated with the company and its affiliates.
