History
Hi-Line was founded in 1959 by J.P. Sheaffer when he recognized a genuine need in the market place—businesses were hurting for inventory management and timely, direct delivery of quality electrical and mechanical maintenance products. His solution? Take the store and the service to the customer.
J.P.’s dream took shape as he started operations out of his Dallas home. In the beginning, J.P. enlisted the help of his sons each night as they stocked and loaded his old Pontiac station wagon with product. The following morning, he would personally service his customers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, managing their inventories of aftermarket products.
“We learned early that it was our knowledge and expertise that customers valued most and which set us apart. Not only did we find the right part for the job, we managed their inventory for them, keeping it organized and stocked so they could focus on production."
