A LEGACY OF QUALITY AND SERVICE

Charlie Griffin founded his namesake company in 1947 with a simple vision: To maximize
products and services for his customers. Originally headquartered in Reading, Massachusetts,
his was a one-man operation with a limited offering, delivering supplies to growers in the
local community.
Ken Hyslip, Sr. first became an employee of Griffin Greenhouse Supplies in 1952, as a truck
driver at the age of 17. At the time, Griffin operated from a single location with no more than five
employees. He went on to buy the business from the Griffin family in 1968. Under his leadership
and family, Griffin grew steadily across the East Coast.
Today, Griffin thrives among horticulture’s premier distributors, serving growers and retailers
nationwide. Under the leadership of the Hyslip family, the business has earned a reputation for
operational excellence, quality products, and first-class customer service.
We know you have many choices among supplier partners, and we sincerely thank you for your
