Running a plumbing business is no small feat. Between managing technicians, bidding on new projects, and ensuring your warehouse is stocked, the last thing you need is a supply chain headache. You need a partner who understands the unique pressures of the trade—someone who knows that time spent chasing parts is money lost on the job site.
That’s where Van Marcke Plumbing Supply and Related Services steps in. We aren’t just another wholesale counter; we are a regional leader in plumbing solutions dedicated to streamlining your operations. Whether you are a small residential service company or a large commercial enterprise, our goal is to make your life easier, your technicians more efficient, and your business more profitable. From our comprehensive e-commerce platform to our innovative inventory solutions, we’ve built our services around one core idea: your success is our success.
Let’s walk through exactly how partnering with Van Marcke can transform your daily grind into a well-oiled machine.

Warehouse Efficiency with Shop Stock
How many hours a week does your team spend organizing your own warehouse? Or worse, how much time do they spend looking for a part that should be there, only to find the bin empty?
Our Shop Stock program is designed to eliminate those inefficiencies. We know that for many plumbing businesses, the warehouse is the heart of operations. If it’s cluttered or understocked, the whole system slows down.
Let Us Do the Heavy Lifting
With Shop Stock, we take the burden of inventory management off your shoulders. Here is how it works:
- We Pick Your Order: You tell us what you need, and we pull it.
- We Deliver: We bring the parts directly to your facility.
- We Stock Your Bins: That’s right—we don’t just drop a pallet at the dock. We put the inventory exactly where it belongs.
This service is a game-changer for labor costs. By letting us handle the restocking, you save time and money. Fewer trips to the supply house means your technicians—and your warehouse staff—will have more time to answer service calls, manage logistics, and focus on billable work. It’s a simple equation: less time stocking equals more time plumbing.
Keep Moving with Truck Stock
The most expensive place for a technician to be is behind the windshield of their van. Every minute spent driving to a supply house to pick up a generic part is a minute they aren’t fixing a leak or installing a water heater. It kills profitability and frustrates customers who are waiting for service.
Our Truck Stock system is the solution to the dreaded “I need to run to the supply house” conversation.
The Mobile Warehouse
The goal is simple: help your technicians keep their trucks stocked full of the parts they need to complete their daily jobs. We analyze what your techs use most frequently—whether it’s specific fittings, valves, or flappers—and ensure those items are replenished regularly.
While we love to see our customers on a daily basis, we do understand that time spent in a store or on the road amounts to fewer jobs being performed each day. Let us pick your order and keep your techs on the road. By maintaining consistent stock levels on your fleet, you increase your first-time fix rate, which leads to happier customers and a healthier bottom line.
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI): The Strategic Edge
For larger operations, managing inventory can feel like a full-time job. You don’t want to tie up too much cash in stock that sits gathering dust, but you also can’t afford to run out of high-turnover items. It’s a delicate balancing act.
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is our strategic answer to this problem. With this game-changing solution, we bring our plumbing inventory directly to your warehouse, ensuring you have the parts you need when you need them.
How VMI Works for You
Think of VMI as putting your inventory on autopilot. We work with you to establish minimum and maximum stock levels for your critical items. Then, we monitor those levels and replenish them automatically.
- Reduced Overhead: You don’t need to carry excess safety stock “just in case.”
- Cash Flow Management: You only pay for what you need, reducing the capital tied up in slow-moving parts.
- Consistency: Supply chain disruptions happen, but VMI buffers you against them by ensuring a steady flow of product.
This isn’t just about delivering parts; it’s about optimizing your business structure. It allows your purchasing agents to focus on strategic sourcing rather than routine reordering, streamlining your entire procurement process.
A Local Presence You Can Count On
While technology and logistics are crucial, this business is still built on relationships. You need to know that there’s a real person ready to help when things go sideways.
With over 20 plumbing wholesale and 4 Ace Hardware locations across Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, our customers always come first. Van Marcke is dedicated to providing the best customer service; we always want to help find the parts you need and be the professional expert our customers can rely on.
More Than Just a Store
Our counters are staffed by knowledgeable pros who know the difference between a rough-in valve and a trim kit. We aren’t just scanning barcodes; we’re problem solvers.
- Ace Hardware Locations: Need more than just plumbing supplies? Our Ace Hardware locations offer a broader range of general maintenance products, making us a one-stop-shop for many of your needs.
- Community Connection: We live and work in the same communities you do. We understand local codes, local water conditions, and local market trends.
When you walk into a Van Marcke location, you aren’t just a dedicated account number. You’re a partner. Whether you are looking for the latest Pro Marcke Faucet Collection or need advice on a complex water treatment system, our team is there to guide you.
Why Quality Matters More Than Ever
In the plumbing industry, your reputation is only as good as the last job you completed. If a valve fails or a water heater leaks a week after installation, the customer doesn’t blame the manufacturer—they blame you. That is why product quality is non-negotiable.
At Van Marcke Plumbing Supply and Related Services, we stock over 6,000 brand-name products. We partner with industry titans like Milwaukee, TOTO, Ruud, Moen, and Uponor because we know you need products that stand the test of time.
The Pro Marcke Advantage
We are also proud to introduce the new Pro Marcke Faucet Collection, where style meets performance. These fixtures are designed with the professional in mind—easy to install, durable enough for heavy use, and stylish enough to please the most discerning homeowner.
By providing you with top-tier products, we help protect your reputation. You can install with confidence, knowing that the parts you are using are backed by industry-leading warranties and our own commitment to quality.

We know the challenges you face: the tight margins, the demanding schedule, the struggle to find good help. Our suite of services—from Plumbersonly.com to Shop Stock, Truck Stock, and VMI—is designed to give you back your most valuable resource: time.
When you partner with us, you are building a foundation for scalability.
