Olmsted-Kirk Equipment & Supply Co. (Olmsted-Kirk) celebrated its 100th anniversary on July 12th, 2005. Olmsted-Kirk provides a variety of janitorial and sanitation products to a variety of well-known companies and institutions in Texas. Headquartered on a 13-acre campus in Dallas, Olmsted-Kirk has facilities in Houston, Longview, Waco, Texarkana, San Antonio and Austin. At minimum, every business in the janitorial/sanitation supplies industry needs to provide quality products, competitive pricing and excellence in service. We differentiate ourselves from others in our field by constantly challenging ourselves to go above and beyond those basic three components needed to sustain a business in our industry. We are a customer-focused organization that strives to provide our clients with the latest and most effective solutions for your cleaning needs.

In 1922, Harry Olmsted and Myron Kirk acquired a Dallas paper distributorship chartered in 1905, organized Olmsted-Kirk Paper Company and set out to become a premier source of quality paper. In the early 1980s, Olmsted-Kirk Paper decided to move its janitorial and sanitation division down the street to see if it could become a successful endeavor on its own.

The company acquired in 1905, West Cullum Paper Company, was an industrial cleaning supply operation. “We always had janitorial and sanitation supplies in connection with our fine paper commercial print business. We supplied them to service our printer customers,” said Olmsted-Kirk Paper Company Chairman of the Board/CEO Robert M. Olmsted Jr. in the cover story of the 2005 November/December issue of Maintenance Sales News.
