Anthony Gemma
Founded in 1949 by Larry Gemma, Gem Plumbing & Heating Company is a family owned business located in Providence, RI. With the assistance of his wife Gloria, Larry began operating out of his home garage with only one truck, providing plumbing and heating service work for his customers. In addition to raising their nine children, Gloria dispatched plumbing calls to Larry from their home. Upon graduating from college, Larry, Leonard and Edward Gemma, along with their brother Anthony, guided the Company in a new direction. With a new mission to provide a large customer base with true 24 hour emergency service, each son bought a truck and joined their father in providing plumbing service throughout the community.
In 1997, Gem Plumbing & Heating doubled their workforce to over 40 employees while continuing to develop a large customer base in the service division as well as taking on larger construction jobs. In addition, Gem Plumbing & Heating Company has made the top 100 fastest growing companies in Rhode Island for the past five years, ranking 13th in 2001 and 22nd in 2002. Today, Gem Plumbing & Heating Company employs over 300 employees making it one of largest plumbing & heating companies in Southern New England. Gem continually strives to provide the best in customer service coupled with the most knowledgeable plumbers and service technicians in Rhode Island.
The Gemma family is also committed to the local community and children. They have been recognized by St. Mary’s Home for Children with the “Outstanding Partner in Philanthropy” Award. They were also recently recognized as a pivotal supporter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. They remain committed to community service as well as the local community by re-investing a portion of their profits into betterment of the community.
