Company Overview

Ferguson serves as a diverse wholesale distributor, encompassing multiple business categories. It holds the title of the largest plumbing wholesaler in North America. Moreover, it stands as the industry's second largest supplier of pipes, valves, fittings, waterworks, and heating and cooling systems in North America. Founded in 1953 with an initial investment of $150,000 and two locations, Ferguson has experienced remarkable growth. In the following five decades, the company expanded its size every five years. In 1982, Wolseley plc from the UK acquired Ferguson, providing the financial backing for its swift growth and bold expansion into industrial, HVAC, and waterworks sectors. The difference at Ferguson is made by its committed associates. The company has a workforce of about 16,500 associates. Our exceptional recruiting initiative pursues the best and brightest graduates from universities nationwide. Branch managers also scout local talent to ensure our sales team understands the needs of our community. Ferguson caters to customers across the country, with a distribution network that includes approximately 1,350 service centers in every state, D.C., Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Mexico. We cultivate a unique company culture and have a longstanding tradition of supporting civic, cultural, educational, and environmental activities.
