Te fact is simple: North Carolina-based plumbing wholesaler Murray Supply Co. made a strong surge in Supply House Times’ Premier 125 survey from 2011 to 2012. The explanations of this rise aren’t so simple.
After 75 years in the plumbing wholesale industry, St. Louis-based Atlas Supply could’ve just patted itself on the back. Instead, the third-generation company opened its first showroom, Immerse, and has made big strides in the St. Louis market. Partner Leigh Suffian recently talked to Supply House Times about Atlas’ history and its future with Immerse.
It is never a good sign when you check the local forecast on your phone and get this message: “This is a tornado emergency for the city of Dallas! Seek shelter now to save your life!”
Greg Reyneke has what he calls a “scary scale” to rank the level of difficulty for the jobs he works on. A recent water treatment project in Uganda received a perfect 10 on the scary scale.
My favorite television show
is the 1970s drama “Emergency!” which chronicles the happenings at a Los Angeles County fire department and nearby
hospital.
Numbers can be quite
revealing - and educational.
For instance, since 2006 nearly a quarter-billion people in the United States
have been affected by a federally declared weather-related disaster. Think
about that - four of every five people.
We are officially gathering data for the 2011 edition. Take our survey today!

Supply House Times is once again conducting its annual Premier Distributors survey which ranks the Top 150 PHCP wholesalers by their sales from the past year. The 2011 Premier Distributor list will be based on sales for fiscal 2010. We do not disclose individual company sales but we need a figure in order to rank each company.
