“Historically Winsupply has taken an opportunistic approach to acquisitions,” said Rick Schwartz, chairman of the board, “resulting in the successful purchase and integration of companies like Noland Company, Carr Supply, and Security Plumbing and Heating Supply, along with smaller distributors that make important contributions to Winsupply’s overall growth.”

“To continue to meet our growth goals, we recognize the need to become more deliberate in seeking out partners to join the Winsupply Family of Companies,” Schwartz continued. “Above all, we want to make sure that any potential partner closely matches our culture: highly functional teams that excel at communication, have an entrepreneurial spirit and a clear plan for the future.”

“Monte is made for this role as ambassador of the Winsupply shared business model,” Schwartz said. “We can’t think of anyone better at telling our free enterprise capitalism success story. Monte will also continue to identify and recruit talent with the entrepreneurial spirit to become owners of local Winsupply companies.”

“After spending the past year and a half as vice president of operations, Rob has earned the leadership of the Local Company Group,” Schwartz said, on Ferguson. “From starting in the plumbing supply industry at age 12, running (Winsupply’s) Grandview Winnelson as president for seven years, serving as an area leader for four years, and then his promotion to vice president of operations in April 2018, Rob has proven again and again to be an excellent leader and inspiration for others owning Winsupply companies.”
