Our story

Four generations of getting it right.

From a bicycle repair shop in Hempstead to a facility partner supplying Long Island and New York City.

Isaac Janvey opened a bicycle repair shop in Hempstead in 1913. Four generations later, I. Janvey & Sons supplies, services, and trains facilities across Long Island, the five boroughs, and up into the Hudson Valley.

The reason that history matters isn't sentiment. It's that a century of supplier relationships is what lets us bundle across our manufacturer lines, hold a 98% fill rate, and send a factory-certified technician instead of a call center.

Two companies, one operation

I. Janvey & Sons is the distribution and equipment side — product lines, bundling, equipment sales, and in-house service. Professional Maintenance of Long Island is the cleaning side, running healthcare-grade programs in hospitals, medical offices, schools, and commercial buildings.

They share leadership, a building, and a supply chain. That's why a PMLI account never waits on a distributor, and why a distribution customer can borrow expertise from crews doing the work every night.

What that means in practice: when a supply chain tightens, our competitors wait on a distributor. We are the distributor.

The Holbrook facility

Our move to Holbrook was an investment in doing more of the work ourselves — warehouse capacity for same-day fulfilment, an equipment bay where Nilfisk and Taski certified technicians repair machines rather than shipping them out, and a training room where crews learn on the equipment they'll actually be using.

Where we're going

We're expanding across Long Island and the outer boroughs, taking on more compliance-heavy facilities, and investing in the training and equipment service capacity that keeps standards from slipping when staff turns over.

Leadership

Who you'll be working with.

An anonymous supplier is interchangeable with every other anonymous supplier.
