About Us

In business for almost 100 years, Empire was founded on the principles of understanding our customers and then providing each one with quality industrial supplies and equipment. We back up those products with superior customer service. Today Empire stocks and manages our own spacious warehouse and showroom where businesses in the Hampton Roads area can shop or call ahead. Empire can replicate this service on location, maintaining a company’s inventory so parts are just steps away from worksites.

Old Dominion University and The Virginian-Pilot Manufacturing Extension Program have recognized Empire for our implementation of the “LEAN” Process and subsequent “LEAN” certification.
