A third-generation family-owned business, Leeps Supply Company is proud to call DeMotte its newest home as it expands its reach to better serve customers in the Region.
A trusted plumbing supply house that has served contractors and community members for 70 years, Leeps has long been part of the DeMotte community – making the decision to open a new location in the Northwest Indiana community a natural extension to its commitment to the Region.
“We’ve been proud to support DeMotte’s residential and commercial growth for years through our other locations in the Region, and this new spot gives us a chance to do it better,” said Chris Bengtson, chief operating officer of Leeps Supply.
Make no mistake -- the company’s newest location isn’t simply a branch. It’s a deeper investment in the people and progress of DeMotte.

“This isn’t just a branch to us,” Bengtson said. “It’s about building relationships and standing behind the contractors, homeowners and families that make this town what it is.”
That investment includes bringing two seasoned professionals to the DeMotte counter: Shane Smith and Charles Engblom, who bring years of industry experience and a strong customer-first mindset.
“They’re knowledgeable, service-driven pros who truly care about helping people get the job done right,” Bengtson said.
To celebrate, Leeps Supply will host a community grand opening event from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. July 16, featuring complimentary food from DD Pig Roast, live music and entertainment, free Kona Ice, exclusive one-day-only discounts and promotional sales, product showcases from top manufacturers and giveaways and raffles throughout the day.
Community members and local contractors are invited to stop by to check out Leeps’ newest location at 5781 Commercial Drive, DeMotte, where they’ll find a wide range of industry-leading products and trusted brands, including Delta Faucets, State Water Heaters, Zoeller Pumps, Navien Tankless Water Heaters and Viega Press Fittings.
The DeMotte location will also offer professional-grade tools from Milwaukee and RIDGID, as well as focus products such as K-Rain Irrigation Systems, Watts Water Filtration and Flint & Walling Well Pumps.
Always willing to go the extra mile for customers, Leeps service counter and sales professionals have extensive knowledge and training, whether you are tackling a residential remodel, a large-scale commercial project or simply stocking up on tools and supplies.
“We love sharing that knowledge with anyone who walks through the door with a plumbing challenge or question, whether you’re a contractor working on a commercial or residential project or the homeowners themselves,” Bengtson said.
With more than 18,000 plumbing supplies available for every type of professional or DIY project, Leeps Supply is ready to be a trusted partner as the DeMotte community continues to grow.
Leeps Supply also has counter locations across Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, including in Highland, Merrillville, Michigan City, Lowell, Valparaiso and Crown Point. Two WaterPlace showrooms are located in Crown Point and Valparaiso.
