In September of 1987, Patty McDonald started a small home-based company selling safety supplies. Realizing that there was a need for minority distributors for underground utility supplies, the company made a drastic switch. She soon expanded her company from 2 employees to 7 and decided to move to a larger location in Santa Ana.

In 1991, the company expanded again to an 11,000 square foot warehouse with over 37,000 square feet of land. Over the next 6 years Patty’s work force grew to 25 employees. With the rapid growing success, Saf-T-Co had their final move to their current location on Normandy Place. Today, Saf-T-Co Supply has over 60 employees, a fleet of over 10 delivery trucks, and has tripled its warehouse capacity in Santa Ana, along with additional land in Riverside.
