A.D. Martin Sr. founded Central Engineering Supply Company in 1926. The company was originally organized to design build and supply ice-manufacturing plants. Over the years, Central has evolved into a major distributor of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and hot water boilers. Central currently has two locations. The Dallas location is the main store and headquarters. The Garland store is the first branch opened by Central in 1993.
     Central took a big step in 1999 becoming an employee owned company. For this reason the employees at Central Engineering are more dedicated than ever to serving our customers. Product knowledge, friendly and courteous employees along with a balanced wide range of inventory is what makes Central the first choice for most contractors.
