Fig Origin Story: Brubaker
Brubaker was established in 1945.
Planting the Seed
With customer service at the core, Brubaker was founded 80 years ago in Lancaster by Wayne Brubaker, focused on plumbing and spouting. The family business grew over the years, as Wayne’s three sons joined the team before taking over in the 1970s.
Rooted in Lancaster
The brothers loved the team like they were family, and they grew the business to offer home and business plumbing, HVAC and electrical services, design/build plumbing & HVAC construction, appliance sales & service, and kitchen & bath remodeling to better serve the Lancaster community.
Tending New Growth
When they looked toward retirement, the Brubakers chose to transition the business to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), where each year, the employees are given stock in the company for their own retirement.
As of 2024, Brubaker is officially 100% employee-owned—a testament to their care for their people and their commitment to remain a resource for both residential and commercial customers for years to come.
