About WhiteHall Products
Supporting Relationships
WhiteHall Products goes above and beyond to partner with our customers by providing customized solutions instead of just giving a price on a product that might not be the best solution for their bottom line.
Our network of factories include domestic and gloabl options. Our relationships have been built for the last 30+ years.
Our Approach
We first learn about your business in an initial meeting where we will discuss products, opportunities, and your most pressing issues through candid questioning. During this interview, we may discover that WhiteHall, or not all of our products, are not a fit for your business. We will be the first to call that out. We will analyze your current or competitive product lines. With domestic and import options, we will source the globe to build the right program for your business.
Then we will set upon a plan to build your company name, your business. Be it through private labels/branding, customizing sizing, assistance in marketing/advertising, expansive product knowledge or launching into untouched markets with new products, our shared goal is focused growth.
This is how we grow together. This is how we partner with you. This is WhiteHall.
Our History
The Early Years
WhiteHall Products began operations as a marketer, designer and distributor of plastic packaging products in 1992. But the company actually had its beginning 13 years before when our current CEO, Joe Justin, was brought onboard to head up our predecessor company, Hallmark Packaging, a manufacturer of products for the same industry we are in today. When the owners of that company decided they didn’t want to invest in the new equipment needed for it to remain competitive, Mr. Justin saw an opportunity.
A Challenging Opportunity
Mr. Justin decided that he would take over the company, but change its focus from manufacturing to distributing. The new company, which he renamed WhiteHall (“white” chosen to project a clean, new image, with “hall” retained as a tie to their old company), hit the ground running with an established customer base, excellent product line expansion, experienced team of industry experts and plans to expand in other product lines.
today, Tomorrow & Beyond
This beginning is one of the main reasons why WhiteHall Products has been able to maintain a consistent rate of growth and expand our product line and services even during tough economic times. It is also one of the things that sets us apart from other distributors in our industry. Because we began in manufacturing, our people have the technical knowledge about the manufacturing process to match the right raw materials with the right products and come up with the best solution to satisfy our customers’ needs whatever they are. Today we also provide a complete line of paper products, janitorial supplies and global sourcing to a diverse range of more than 500 clients including the U.S. government, quick service restaurants, distributors and manufacturers.
