About Lippincott Supply Co., Inc Lippincott Supply Company was started in 1948 by Roger Lippincott with surplus screws and bolts that he bought from the Benicia Arsenal after World War II. He purchased 10 acres of land with a Quonset Hut along old Highway 40. In the early 50s construction began on I-80 and the old building and several areas were purchased by Caltrans to make way for the new freeway. In 1953 our present building was erected, and in 1995 a large addition was added. In the late 70s he sold the business to his daughter, Linda, and his Grandson, John Kent, and in 1984 he retired from the business. In 1989 Lippincott Supply Co incorporated and concentrated on the wholesale distribution of fasteners. Linda Lippincott Kent retired from the business in 1995, and John is now training his son to carry on the family business. If you are looking for G.W.
