Ferguson

Company Overview

Ferguson functions as a multifaceted wholesale distributor, engaging in various business divisions. We hold the title of the largest 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. The success of Ferguson lies in our dedicated associates. 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 serves customers from coast to coast, with a distribution network of about 1,350 service centers across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Our company fosters a unique culture and has a tradition of supporting civic, cultural, educational, and environmental initiatives.
