About Waites Company

Waites was established in 1880 originally as a hardware store. Founded and still located in Worcester, Massachusetts, Waites evolved to become a specialty industrial distributor focusing on cutting tools, abrasives, precision tools and industrial supplies. We are centrally located to serve the entire New England region for all these needs.

In 1979, Waites was acquired by Washburn-Garfield, a leader in industrial pipe, valve, fittings and controls throughout the New England region. Both Waites and Washburn-Garfield pride themselves in their reputation as having the most experienced technical staff to provide solutions for all your technical requirements.


Waites Company is here to serve you. We understand how important quality and reliability is to your business. As your supplier, we make sure that everything we offer is of the highest quality available, affordable, and that you get what you need, when you need it. Our reputation depends on it, and in our industry, reputation is everything! If you would like to find out more about how Waites Company can help advance your success, get in touch today.
