Business Groups

Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Newport News, Va., Ferguson maintains our position nationally as the best in the business year after year. We currently have around 1,400 service centers in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Mexico with further expansion always underway. Originally founded as a plumbing supply wholesaler, Ferguson has since diversified into exciting new industries and product lines.

By stocking a huge inventory of parts and supplies and consistently going out of our way to quickly locate and deliver hard-to-find specialty items, we have built an impeccable reputation among our customers. Plumbing, mechanical & waterworks contractors, kitchen and bath dealers, builders, large industrial businesses, manufacturers, and municipalities all look to Ferguson as an invaluable resource. Each branch serves the individual needs of its particular market area by working hard to keep customers completely satisfied.

At Ferguson, we look for opportunities where our excellence in distribution can contribute to our customers' bottom line. For example, we diversified into the area of integrated supply. We take the complex and cumbersome task of procuring and warehousing supplies for entire manufacturing facilities so they can focus on their business operations.

At Ferguson, we realize change is inevitable. That's why adaptability is such an important part of our corporate culture. The industry is bound to change, but our ability to serve our customers better than anyone else in the business will not.
