Mr. Koch, a German Immigrant arrived in the United States in 1949 working first in the cement industry in New York, then in the steel industry in Southeast Florida. With this background he moved to the "other" coast of Florida with an idea to start his own business. In 1959, Southwestern Suppliers, Inc. was born.
