In 1950 Robert C. Kirchner founded Monumental Supply Company in a small Highlandtown building. While the building had obvious space limitations, it gave us room to demonstrate our dependability and flair for service. We quickly became the leading supplier in the Baltimore area for pipe, valves and fittings and were outgrowing our tiny facility.

In 1955 we moved into a larger space but still felt pressed for room to service our rapidly growing number of customers in industry and business. By 1963 we had acquired a 30,000 square foot building so that we could carry the most complete stock of pipe in Maryland, as well as a full supply of leading brand name valves, fittings and related industrial supplies. Currently our facilities comprise 150, 000 square feet. The key to our tremendous growth was and is our commitment to dependability and service, as well as our encouragement of customers and employees to offer suggestions that will keep us focused on being the premier PVF supplier.

Bob Kirchner began a legacy of planning and growth that carries on into the future, as his direction guides the company today. This direction has been carried on by Maria Kirchner since her husband's demise in 1983.

Monumental will continue to grow and remain the best source of supply and the best in service for you, our customer.
