About Us

Ferguson is a diverse wholesale distributor with operations spanning multiple business groups. The company is ranked as the largest plumbing wholesaler in North America. Ferguson is also the industry's second largest distributor of pipes, valves and fittings, waterworks, and heating and cooling equipment in North America.

In 1953, Ferguson was founded with $150,000 starting capital and two locations. The next five decades saw phenomenal growth, with the company doubling in size every five years. In 1982, Wolseley plc, based in the United Kingdom, acquired Ferguson, supplying the financial strength for Ferguson's rapid growth and aggressive expansion into the industrial, heating and cooling (HVAC) and waterworks markets.

It's Ferguson's associates who make the difference. Ferguson employs approximately 16,500 associates.  Through our industry-leading recruiting program, we aggressively pursue the best and brightest college and university graduates from across the country.  Our branch managers also recruit candidates on the local level to ensure that our sales associates can identify the needs of our local customers.  Ferguson services customers coast-to-coast, with a distribution network spanning approximately 1,350 service centers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Mexico. 

Our company has a unique culture and a tradition of supporting civic, cultural, educational and environmental activities.  Ferguson is proud to be recognized as a national partner of Habitat for Humanity International, which seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness. We are committed to the highest standards of ethics, from helping our customers select green product solutions to providing a safe and secure workplace environment.
