About Us
Dedicated to Our Customers' Success
Butler Supply Inc., is a woman owned, managed, and controlled company that was founded in St. Louis, MO in 1941. C.E.

Over seven decades later, his granddaughter, Deborah Kuempel and the extended Butler family continues to guide the company with the same dedication to total customer satisfaction.
At Butler Supply, our success depends on our customers success. In order to help our customers improve their businesses, Butler Supply hosts customer training events covering topics from product education and installation certification, to marketing and collections best practices. For those of you who have not yet worked with our Butler Supply team, please give us a try. We would appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
