Premier 150

RSS

The recovery continues. For the second consecutive year, Supply House Times’ Premier survey reveals an increase in sales made by PCHP companies. The annual survey, conducted by Supply House Times and BNP Media Market Research, ranks the Top 125 PHCP wholesalers by their sales from the past year.

Supply House Times’ annual survey documents a recovery underway.

Most PHCP wholesalers reported lower sales for 2009 but 82% are projecting flat to higher sales for 2010.

The economic downturn is challenging wholesalers to find new strategies for success.

Continued consolidation coupled with the housing slump in the U.S. resulted in flat or lower sales for many PHCP wholesalers in 2007.

Who’s on first? We awarded the top spot in our Premier 150 list this year to Newport News, VA-based, Wolseley-owned Ferguson Enterprises, which has occupied that position since 2002. First-time

It has been a very good year, and PHCP wholesalers surveyed by SUPPLY HOUSE TIMES are projecting more of the same for fiscal 2006. Last year we reported that a record percentage of responding wholesalers enjoyed higher sales in 2004 and about 95% projected sales would rise again in 2005. The number of responding PHCP wholesalers who achieved those sales increases in fiscal 2005 was even higher: 95.8%.

An Unprecedented Year

More than 75% of the respondents to this year's survey reported a sales increase for fiscal 2003 vs. 2002, and the future looks even rosier.

Maybe not everyone in PHCP distribution had a great year in 1999, but the consensus is, "Let the good times roll."
