The company's roots go back to 1914, when Carl F. Wittichen founded Wittichen Chemical in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1930, Carl Wittichen pioneered the first use of Anhydrous Ammonia, Sulfur Dioxide, and Methyl Chloride, and shortly afterward the company began stocking refrigerants, parts, supplies, and equipment for the HVAC/R industry under the direction of Carl F. Wittichen and Drexel Daily. Early partnerships were formed with DuPont, Allied Chemical Company, and Honeywell. After World War II, the principals returned and the business expanded through the 1950s and 1960s, adding HVAC equipment to its inventory during the 1970s and 1980s while growing its branch network. The 1990s and 2000s brought fifteen new branches and satellites, and the 2010s saw the headquarters relocate to a new Birmingham facility alongside further Gulf Coast expansion. Today the company operates globally as part of Beijer Ref, with the same people, principles, and purpose that have guided it for over a century.

Wittichen Supply Co holds a rating of 4.60 across customer reviews. With more than a hundred years serving the HVAC/R industry and a lineup that spans condensers, heat pumps, gas furnaces, and complete system bundles, the Gadsden location draws on a long-established wholesale tradition in central Alabama.
