Ferguson

Company Overview

Ferguson serves as a comprehensive wholesale distributor, active in multiple business categories. We proudly stand as the leading plumbing wholesaler in North America. Furthermore, we are the industry's second largest supplier of pipes, valves, fittings, waterworks, and HVAC systems in North America. Founded in 1953 with an initial investment of $150,000 and two locations, Ferguson has experienced remarkable growth. Over the next fifty years, we doubled our size every five years. In 1982, Ferguson was acquired by Wolseley plc from the UK, which supplied the financial power for our quick growth and assertive expansion into industrial, HVAC, and waterworks fields. It is our associates who drive Ferguson's success. We employ around 16,500 associates. With our leading recruitment program, we diligently search for the best college graduates from across the country. Local recruitment by our branch managers ensures our sales associates are attuned to the needs of our local clientele. Ferguson provides services to customers across the country, backed by a distribution network of approximately 1,350 service centers in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Mexico. We cultivate a distinctive culture and uphold a tradition of backing civic, cultural, educational, and environmental efforts.
