Founded in 1929 by Earl Bertrand Bradley, the company began as a wholesale distributor specializing in store fixture and specialty hardware such as drawer slides, hinges, brackets and standards. As the company grew, branch offices were opened in San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Portland, Anaheim, Santa Fe Springs, and Hollywood. In 1998 the company entered the cold press lamination business by opening 3 locations of its West Coast Laminating subsidiary in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Pacific Northwest marketplaces. As our product lines expanded, we established ourselves as a leader in the specialty building materials industry. In 2009, Industrial Opportunity Partners, a private equity firm based in Evanston, acquired E.B. Bradley Co. and its subsidiaries. Today, we continue to grow our business with an emphasis on providing value and outstanding customer service and being an employer of choice.
