Marketing Philosophy
Unlike other distributors who have one large location to service a large geographical area, Oliver H. Van Horn Company, LLC has eight locations to service our territory. This allows for a marketing philosophy which by its very nature encourages local availability of stock and service.

Further, our "value added" concept attempts to lower customer costs through product innovation and cost cutting procedures. Our customers' profitability is one of our key concerns.
