History
Founded by Vernon R. Bitzer in 1951, Vernon Bitzer Associates has been representing the Watts Regulator Company in the Philadelphia area and surrounding regions for nearly 70 years. Over the years, Vernon continued to grow his company and add more product lines, and was eventually joined by his son, Dick Bitzer, and son-in-law, Bill Whitson. Upon his retirement, Vernon turned the business over to Dick and Bill, who continued to grow the business and add more product lines. Dick and Bill would eventually go on to turn the business over to Steve Krumm and Bob Wexler, who would go on to turn the business over to its current principals - David Steele, Patrick Daly, and Richard Tarr. Today, Vernon Bitzer Associates operates out of a 12,000-square-foot warehouse conveniently located in Warminster, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. The company has grown to 20 employees and represents over 20 lines while continuing to operate under the same high ethical standards set by its founder back in 1951.
