History
The Story of Gamka
In 1953 a young, energetic man named Karl J. Weiss emigrated to the
United States from Germany. Good fortune followed: he promptly
landed a job at Contractors Supply, a construction product distributor
in Northern New Jersey, and he met a beautiful young lady by the name
of Lydia. She was to become the true love of his life. A lifetime career
in the distribution of construction products runs a close second.
Like
the weather, things often change unexpectedly. After working at Contractors
Supply for only six months Uncle Sam called. Karl was drafted into the
United States Army to serve his new homeland for the next two years.
After his discharge from the Army in January of 1956 he returned to his
position at Contractors Supply. It was then that Karl’s
life got busier! Later that year he and Lydia were married and started
their family. They have two daughters, Irene and Linda, and two sons,
Karl W. (known as J.R.) and Ronald.
Karl dedicated himself to the construction
supply and equipment distribution business for the next three decades,
learning all the “tricks of the trade”. Starting in sales,
he climbed the ladder to become manager of the entire New Jersey operation.
Then, after more than thirty years of working for someone else, he decided
to branch out on his own. Karl was never known to be as a man afraid
of taking a chance and this was a well-calculated risk.
Gamka Sales Company
was established in April 1986 at a modest 2,500 square foot facility
in Edison, New Jersey by Karl Weiss and his eldest son, JR. Ronnie,
Karl’s other son, soon joined the organization.
Karl banked upon his vast knowledge, the assistance of his oldest son
J.R. and some outside financial capital to get up and running. Many people
ask how the name GAMKA came about. Karl’s backers were Gerry, Anthony,
and Michael. They were the G,A and M. The KA is for Karl.
The three backers were paid off in a short time and Gamka has been 100%
owned and operated exclusively by the Weiss family for years now.
The
company rapidly outgrew its birthplace and two others, all in Edison. This
geographic location was chosen as it is central to servicing contractors
working anywhere in the state and just a stone’s throw from the
New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Interstate 287 and Routes
1, 9 and 18, etc.. In 2002, Gamka again relocated within Edison to a
60,000 square foot, climate controlled warehouse with offices and showroom
on six acres. Inside are more than 30,000 line items including light
to medium sized equipment (from a drill to an excavator), construction
chemicals, hardware, supplies and over 1,400 pieces of rental machinery.
There are 9,000 parts in stock for the equipment lines sold. Gamka’s
service department maintains what Gamka sells with a complete shop and
a half dozen factory trained technicians. Their own truck fleet
makes drops in New Jersey and, if a customer is working there, the fleet
will deliver to metropolitan New York and Philadelphia.
