Scott Cohen's Lifelong Journey to Building One Source Supply Into Long Island's Go-To Maintenance Partner

Long Island, NY — While most kids were riding bikes and heading off to summer camp, Scott Cohen was busy mastering the nuts and bolts of the hardware world. At just 11 years old, Scott began working every Saturday in his father’s hardware store. That early introduction to the supply business would spark a passion that never faded—and would ultimately lead to the creation of One Source Supply, a premier provider of building maintenance and janitorial materials serving the greater Long Island area.

Now with over 40 years of experience, Scott has become a respected force in the building maintenance industry. Known not just for his deep product knowledge—but for his proactive, relationship-driven approach—Scott is the professional that facility managers, property owners, and maintenance directors call when they need anything. From routine janitorial items to seasonal essentials, paints, sundries, and even elusive specialty products that leave others scratching their heads, Scott delivers—literally and figuratively.

But One Source Supply isn’t just about products. It’s about partnership.

“I don’t believe in sitting back and waiting for the phone to ring,” says Scott. “I believe in getting out in the field, meeting clients face-to-face, and helping them solve real problems with real solutions.”

That commitment to partnership is a core part of the company’s philosophy. One Source Supply isn’t just a vendor—it’s an extension of your team. And that mission is further fueled by Scott’s son, Steve Cohen, the company’s Vice President and a powerhouse in his own right.

Before joining One Source Supply full-time, Steve was a martial arts instructor and program manager, where he honed his leadership skills, built marketing strategies, and developed a passion for helping others reach their full potential. Today, he brings that same drive to the business world—connecting with professionals through social media, local networking events, and face-to-face meetings.

Steve is known for his loyalty, strategic thinking, and above all, his commitment to helping clients find easier, better ways to operate. Whether it's sourcing an unusual product, streamlining your inventory, or suggesting seasonal must-haves, Steve’s on a mission to make building supply headaches a thing of the past.

Together, Scott and Steve Cohen have built One Source Supply into more than just a trusted vendor—they’ve created a solution-driven business partner committed to helping others thrive.

Whether you manage a residential complex, office building, or large-scale facility, One Source Supply has the products, expertise, and personal service you need to succeed.
