Embassy buying group encouraged by progress of its three verticals
Embassy added a waterworks arm to its buying group in 2014 to fill an industry need.
Embassy President Mike Lepley said the buying group continues to be thrilled with the growth its plumbing, HVAC and waterworks verticals are experiencing — with the waterworks and HVAC units in particular making key strides in the short time they have been active.
“We’ve been in waterworks for about a year and that segment continues to grow for us,” Lepley told Supply House Times at the recent 24th annual Embassy Spring Conferencein Orlando, Fla. “What’s nice is we have the flexibility to be patient and strategic with that division. We are going to make sure we are bringing on the right vendors and the right waterworks members. We feel in the next five to seven years that division is going to be like our plumbing and HVAC group, which also had great years for us in 2014.”
