Al, Alex and John Federico, owners of Coastal Supply Group, are regarded as pillars of the Staten Island community. Coastal Supply Group, originally known as Coastal Plumbing Supply, was founded in March 1972 by Alexander Federico, Jr., more commonly known as Al. Over the five decades since the business’ inception, the Federico family has grown Coastal Supply Group exponentially, expanding to six locations in the tri-state area.

At the time of Coastal Supply Group’s founding, Federico was a licensed New York City master plumber. Originally a tradesman from Brooklyn, Federico decided that he wanted to open his own business. While looking for a location, Federico saw an ad in the newspaper for a supply house on Staten Island and, upon doing research, Federico decided to purchase the building.
