As one of the largest U.S. distributors of industrial pipe, valves and fittings, plumbing, heating and cooling, waterworks, and tool and safety products, Ferguson offers a diverse mix of products to different types of customers. We classify them by business groups. While each business group has a unique set of products, the customers in those groups have many similarities in terms of business needs and, consequently, services offered. It’s our goal to become indispensable.
Services offered by Ferguson are built around customer business needs; mainly the need to have the right product at the right place at the right time to minimize downtime and costs. Our distribution network of over 1400 locations and eight strategically-placed national and regional distribution centers goes a long way to ensure timely delivery. Add to this the ability to order electronically, our national accounts program, customer inventory management program and product customization, and you have a product/service offering that is unparalleled in the industry.

Commercial/Industrial
Mechanical contractors, engineers, manufacturing plants and industrial sites depend on us for delivery of pipe, valves, fittings, fire protection and industrial specialty products. Ferguson also specializes in product services like end-finishing, fabrication or actuation, which is required to customize the products for special applications within universities, hospitals, schools, airports, office buildings, shopping malls, just to name a few.
Waterworks
This group of contractors, land developers and municipalities purchase large underground pipe, valves and fittings used for irrigation, sewage and water systems that make up the infrastructure of our neighborhoods, towns, cities and counties. This is a very technical area of our business due to complex application.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
HVAC equipment, parts, installation supplies and accessories account for one of the fastest-growing business groups. Our customers in this group are builders, plumbers, mechanical contractors or contractors who specialize in heating and air conditioning. Applications for products sold range from residential (single and multi-family) projects to large and small commercial, industrial or institutional settings.

Specialty Businesses
Ferguson has established niche businesses that serve particular segments of our business that don’t fall into our normal categories. Our integrated operations manage the procurement of MRO (maintenance, repair and operation) products for manufacturing operations, leaving them free to focus on their core competency. The procurement of everything required to run a plant, from toilet paper and floor cleaner to lab instruments and office supplies, is left to a Ferguson staff usually on the premises. Our customers in this segment are primarily manufacturers in the aircraft, automotive, mineral refining, and locomotive and semi-conductor industries; however, the concept is filtering down to large customers that fall into other business groups.
