Celebrating 50 Years

P&H Casters is having a milestone birthday on April 1st! The company, which was founded in 1969 by George Paikos and Jim Hicks (P&H) to manufacture and distribute specialty fasteners and metal hardware is hardly recognizable since those fledgling days. P&H Associates morphed into P&H Casters in the 1970’s, when it expanded its product line to include wheels and casters for shopping carts.

Over the past 50 years, P&H Casters has expanded in just about every direction imaginable. The company has grown from a small, California based distribution company into a Texas based manufacturing and distribution powerhouse with operations also on both U.S. coasts.

A family owned enterprise, the company started with a handful of people that today has become a multi-departmental team that collaborates from all over the U.S. and Latin America.

Anniversaries are a time to celebrate where we come from and a time to anticipate where we’re going. They are a time to be thankful for what we’ve achieved, and to those that helped us get there. So these people pictured here, our P&H Texas based crew, are an important part of our celebration. But we also have another group that we are ever so grateful for, as we say here in Texas. We try not to forget for even one 50th of a second that if it wasn’t for those valued companies that we are fortunate enough to call “customer” that we wouldn’t be celebrating on this April Fool’s Day!

We wanted to take this opportunity to say “Thanks All” to everyone who has helped us get to the half-century mark. As Jesse Peltier, President, Partner and COO recently said “Success is best when it’s shared”.

We’ll be celebrating our good fortune the entire week of April 1st. Nothing we’d like better than to have you join us.

Happy 50 Birthday Casters!

We Can’t Decide What To Be Prouder Of

Thanks P&H People.

We worked hard this year, really hard.

Not only did we manage to get Plant One, our first US based manufacturing facility operational–
at the same time, we also completed the requirements to become an ISO 9001:2015 certified company.

Whew! This took some elbow grease.

We really want to thank our team here at P&H Casters.

These are the people that put their shoulder into it every day, and make it happen.

 

We Really Can’t Believe This.

P&H is now the exclusive source for the HEATEATER® brand of high temperature wheel products!

We’re still pinching ourselves when we think about how lucky we are to be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the HEATEATER® line of wheel products that have been produced by Roll-Master for the past 40 years. These wheels work where other types of high temperature wheels fail, or just plain wear out too fast. High temperature products fall into a class all by themselves anyway. They are subject to such demanding environmental stresses that they fall into a “consumable” category. No matter how great we make them, they are still destined for periodic replacement.

P&H Casters is the exclusive manufacturer of the HEATEATER line from Roll-Master.

But these guys are special. They wear longer than many high temperature phenolic products (yup, maybe even our own line of super green Epoxy high temp wheels) and their softer tread is kinder to floor surfaces

than other types of high temperature wheels. All of this and still impact resistant.

The wide range of operating temperatures for the HEATEATER®  also sets it apart from many other high temp products.  The low end of the operating temperature range is  -70°F .  That’s about 50° lower than phenolic high temp wheels!

Normal operating temperatures for this premium line of wheels are  475°F continuous exposure up to  550°F the recommended intermittent temperature exposure.

How great is that??

The product line includes a wide variety of diameters and tread widths. 

  • Wheel Diameters: 2 1/2″, 3″, 3 1/4″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 5″, 6″ and 8″
  • Tread Widths:        1″, 1 3/8″, 1 1/2″, 1 5/8″, 2″, 2 3/16″
  • Plain bore, roller and stainless steel bearings
  • Maintenance free coated bushings

We’ve been admiring the HEATEATER® products for so long, we really find it amazing that they are now OURS to share with YOU.

Even More Than Before

P&H Casters is keeping your world rolling again--this time we’re rolling right into a new line of products that complement our  existing product lines just perfectly. 

By capturing Roll-Master’s many quality products, we are able to offer one of the most exciting selection of high temperature wheels and caster in the market. And that’s just one part of what’s coming!

Combining the Roll-Master product lines, that historically are 100% manufactured in the USA, with the P&H Casters “MADE AT HOME” manufacturing initiative is another exciting part of our commitment to become your sole source for wheels and casters.

 

Home Improvement Retail Products

P&H does it ourself for the do-it-yourself retail market:

Although our research tells us that ecommerce sales in the home improvement retail industry have been steadily building over the past few years, here at P&H, we have a hard time picturing ourselves ordering up those petunias for the flower bed around that tree in the front yard anytime soon.

Historically, home improvement stores built their business by catering to the “do it yourselfers” of the world. That includes the do it yourself landscaper, do it yourself plumber, electrician, carpenter and remodelers of all types. Part of the overall experience of doing it yourself is going to the store, feeling and smelling the materials, including the petunias, the paint and the wood, and selecting just the right ones for your home improvement project. It’s an immersive creative experience.

So P&H is “doing it ourselves” and sticking to our creative plan to continuously improve the already outstanding line of wheel and caster products that we have developed for the home improvement retail market. We just want to make sure that when you grab that lumber cart to load those 2 x 4’s onto and start to push it out to your truck, you don’t need lumbar support by the time you get it across the parking lot.

E-commerce Plays Bigger Role in Home Improvement – Sales Near $11 Billion, Reports NPD
 (Credit: NPD/www.npd.com)

Port Washington, NY, May 9, 2017 – Online sales of home improvement products that span everything from plumbing and hardware to storage and décor, have grown 41 percent in the 12 months ending March 2017, reports The NPD Group, a leading global information company. The e-commerce home improvement market reached $10.9 billion in sales for the year, according to NPD’s receipt mining service, Checkout TrackingSM.

With the exception of outdoor living, online sales of each major segment of the home improvement market grew in the 12 months ending March 2017, and almost every category tracked within those segments experienced double-digit online dollar growth. The fastest growing categories last year were plumbing pipes and fittings, light bulbs, and ceiling fans, and the categories with the largest online sales gains were home décor, light fixtures and lamps, and area rugs.

“The pace at which e-commerce is gaining acceptance among home improvement consumers emphasizes the need to understand how consumers are utilizing online and in-store shopping options, and how to make them work together,” said Joe Derochowski, executive director and home industry analyst at NPD. “Marketers can capture the replenishment of commodity products, like light bulbs and air filters, by offering online convenience, but there are also opportunities to benefit from consumer showrooming for bigger ticket items, like bathtubs and vanities, with the in-store experience.”
