Where We Got Our Name

Hollis Supply is named after Hollis, Alaska a small town tucked into Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. It's a place we know well. Every year, we head up there with a group of close friends to fish the waters that make that part of the world unlike anywhere else. Remote, rugged, and real. That spirit is baked into everything we do.

How It Started

Hollis Supply was born out of a simple frustration: businesses and workers in Southeast Alaska had almost no good options when it came to sourcing building materials and industrial supplies. If you've ever tried to get what you need shipped to a remote corner of the Pacific Northwest, you know the problem, limited selection, unreliable logistics, and suppliers who weren't built with you in mind.

We set out to fix that. Our original mission was to bring quality building materials and supplies directly to the people and businesses of Southeast Alaska who had been underserved for too long.

How We Evolved

As we built Hollis Supply from the ground up, something became clear: the problem wasn't just regional. Across the country, industrial and safety supply purchasing was stuck in the past with clunky ordering processes, slow fulfillment, and customer service that treated buyers like an afterthought.

We saw an opportunity to do something different. By going online-only, we could reach a national audience without the overhead of brick-and-mortar locations. We invested in technology, built deep integrations with our vendor network, and focused on creating the kind of responsive, knowledgeable customer service that the industry had been missing.

What We Stand For Today

Hollis Supply is a national online retailer of industrial and safety supplies. We serve contractors, facilities managers, safety professionals, and businesses of all sizes who need reliable access to quality products — delivered fast, sourced right, and backed by a team that actually picks up the phone.

We leverage technology and strong vendor relationships to keep our catalog broad, our pricing competitive, and our fulfillment sharp. We're not a big-box store trying to be everything to everyone. We're a focused, efficient supplier built for the people who need to get the job done.

Built on Real Experience

We didn't build this company in a boardroom. We built it with an understanding of what it means to need the right supplies in a place where the wrong answer isn't an option. That mindset shapes how we operate which is lean, dependable, and always working to make the next order easier than the last.
