About us
The NJ State League of Master Plumbers Inc. was founded in 1930
by a small group of plumbers, who thought the industry, their profession, and their customers should be protected. In 1931 they incorporated and formed this non-profit organization.
These men were -
William J. Wilson
August C. Kriger
William F. Borg
Alfred Hoffman
August P. Walters
Together these men set forth by-laws for their new endeavor. The objectives they set out to follow were:
The encouragement of sanitary laws and the enforcement thereof;
The advancement of sanitation;
The improvement of plumbing fixtures and the installation thereof;
The education in the craft of sanitation and better methods of doing business;
The establishment of harmonious relations between the master plumbers: journeymen plumbers, manufacturers, wholesalers and the public;
The education of the apprentice in the plumbing trade;
These objectives set forth in 1931 remain our core objectives today. Everything we do or propose to do is guided by the vision of these men.
Unlike other plumbing trade groups, The NJ State League of Master Plumbers is an exclusive association. Only an active New Jersey Licensed Master Plumber can apply for membership.
From our original founding fathers The NJ State League of Master Plumbers Inc. has grown to be a powerful force in The NJ Plumbing Industry. With over 30 Local Associations reaching virtually every area of the state. We help protect the plumber, apprentice and consumer alike.
