Ben Murphy joined Independent Pipe & Supply in October 2021 as the Inventory Control Manager. There he developed leadership skills and gained a deep understanding of warehouse operations. This foundation proved invaluable when he transitioned into the Sales department in June 2024. Now Ben is advancing into Outside Sales where he will focus on building strong relationships, delivering exceptional service, and driving continued success for his customers and the company.
“Ben moved to our Sales Team from our Warehouse in June of 2024. Since his arrival, Ben has met every challenge laid in front of him and excelled. His thoroughness and attention to detail have made him an excellent addition to our Sales Team. As he heads onto the road as an Outside Sales Representative, he will bring the same energy and work ethic to our customers.”
– Larry Pengel Jr. Sales Manager ‑ Eastern MA
A Weymouth native, Ben attended BC High before earning a degree in International Business and Chinese at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island. He later pursued a Master’s Degree in International Business in China, but when the pandemic brought him back to the U.S., he forged a new path. Though he no longer uses Mandarin daily, he recognizes that the discipline and persistence required to master a language are the same qualities he now applies to learning a new one—the language of pipes, valves, and fittings (PVF). He is committed to deepening his industry expertise and growing alongside Independent Pipe.
Outside of work, Ben is always on the move. Whether skiing, fishing, running, or training at the gym, he takes full advantage of every season New England offers. At the office, he has earned a reputation for always having something to eat and has developed an appreciation for exploring new foods from different cultures.
When asked what sets Independent Pipe apart, Ben points to the strength of the team:
“No matter your role—whether in the warehouse, sales, IT, accounting, or management—everyone plays a part in making the company successful. Like a well-designed piping system, every connection matters, and when all the pieces come together, the results speak for themselves.”
Ben is eager to see how his journey in Outside Sales unfolds and is committed to making a lasting impact at Independent Pipe & Supply.
