Coastal Supply Group was originally founded in March 1972 as Coastal Plumbing Supply, by Alexander A. Federico, Jr. Al, a tradesman from Brooklyn in the early 60’s, wanted to get involved in the business of plumbing supplies. He acquired a small, Staten Island-based supply house in the Stapleton section of Bay Street and later opened a Kitchen & Bath Showroom on New Dorp Lane serving the local Staten Island market. He built the company around customer service and offering high quality products at competitive prices.
