For nearly a century, The Collins Companies has built its reputation as one of the Northeast’s most trusted industrial distributors of engineered specialties, pipe, valves, and fittings.
From power generation and process plants to OEM and MRO operations across the globe, we deliver the technical expertise, product depth, and responsive service that keep critical systems running. Beyond distribution, our in-house valve and compressor service divisions ensure reliability and performance where it matters most. Large enough to support major power projects yet personal enough to know our customers by name, we’re committed to being the value-added partner you can count on to make every dollar in your plant work harder.
