About Us

Our Story

Murphy Supply Company has been serving the Greater Cincinnati region since 1950, when founder H. James Murphy,  a chemist from Boston, established the business with a focus on dependable service and trustworthy products. Together with his wife and a small team of employees, Mr. Murphy took his dream of being his own boss in a business he loved and grew it into a successful janitorial supply business.  


75 years and three generations later, Murphy Supply continues to support customers across education, healthcare, manufacturing, food service, and other commercial sectors with a full line of  janitorial supplies, cleaning chemicals, paper products, and facility-maintenance solutions. 


In 2023, we aligned with RKCA, a Cincinnati-based merchant bank to enhance our operational capabilities and broaden our strategic reach. That same year, we joined the Triple S distributor network, expanding access to national brands, training programs, and supply-chain advantages.


Today, Murphy Supply combines the personal commitment of a family business with the financial resources to make investments to create a modern cleaning products distributor—delivering quality, value, and service our customers can count on.
