ABC Supply Co Inc is the largest roofing and vinyl siding wholesaler in the United States. Headquartered in Beloit, Wisconsin, the company was founded in 1982 by Ken Hendricks and his wife Diane Hendricks.
ABC Supply was launched with the acquisition and conversion of three supply centres previously owned by Bird & Sons Inc. By 1984, the company had grown to 25 locations and ranked third on the Inc. 500 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. By 1998, ABC Supply had expanded to 204 stores and an annual sales of $1 billion.
The company continued to grow through the purchase of supply centres and materials manufacturers of roofing, siding and windows. ABC’s 2010 acquisition of Bradco Supply Corp. and its 128 locations was one of the company’s largest. ABC Supply would go on to acquire Chicago-based L&W Supply in 2016, adding another 136 locations across 36 states.
Today, ABC Supply operates over 800 locations, with more than 15,000 associates that help generate an annual revenue of over $12 billion.
