Bender is a fourth-generation family-owned retailer and distributor based in New Haven, Connecticut, with roots dating to 1946. It has evolved into the state's largest combined retailer and wholesale provider of home design products, spanning decorative plumbing, kitchen and bath cabinetry, tile, and stone. The company serves homeowners, designers, and local tradespeople, offering a showroom-driven, one-stop shopping experience where customers can view products and consult with specialists, while also supplying HVAC and plumbing materials for trades. 

Bender emphasizes a family-owned culture and long-tenured staff, with many teammates remaining with the company for multiple years. In March 2026, Hills Distribution acquired Bender Plumbing Supply, marking a notable development in the regional distribution landscape.
