We get a lot of questions about who Direct Supply is and what we do. 

Is it a buying group? Nope.  

Is there a subscription fee? Not at this time! 

The answer is simple for us, We’re a supplier to some great designers, contractors, companies and individuals. We provide materials that are used to create beautiful and functional spaces. 

Let’s flashback to when we were founded in 1989…. A building with a parking lot

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

There was no internet. 

We have a printed inventory book and price pages that were referenced for the orders our customers called, faxed and mailed into us. 

A few people here had mullets. 

We had cool windbreaker jackets. 

We were determined to give Direct Supply a great reputation to go along with our great name.  

Direct was a great phrase that symbolized getting to the point or the source. At the time of our founding, we aimed to become a better resource and a go to supplier in our market. 

And we are a supplier, so Supply made total sense! 

A direct supplier for all things woodworking, countertops, and cabinetry determined to help shops of all sizes with materials they need for commercial and residential construction.  

Fastforward to the age of the internet. WOW – it felt like the world got a bit smaller. A person sitting at a desk

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

We had more information at our fingertips. 

We still had cool windbreaker jackets. 

We acquired the directsupplyinc.com domain. 

We discovered email. 

And a quick Yahoo search revealed to our surprise…..there were a few other Direct Supply’s out there.

Not directly related to our industry, but pretty close to us geographically.  

Including a few others in the Midwest who had the same idea we did about how great of a company name Direct Supply is! 

So, to us, Direct Supply stands for us, a customer focused distributor based in Michigan focused on being a valuable resource and a supplier of products and solutions within the construction industry. 

We currently have one location in Grand Rapids and are not affiliated with any other Direct Supply around the US. 

dsi new building

Do we have parts for your wheelchair or senior living supplies? Nope. you’ll need directsupply.com. 

Do we have janitorial supplies? Not those either, sorry! 

But we do have a really great team, quality brands, and cool products for the construction industry, and are located in the office furniture capital of the US – west Michigan. 

If you’re here for countertops, cabinetry, woodworking, and design content and supplies, you’re in the right place!
