Core & Main Inc. has finalized the acquisition of Pioneer Supply, a regional distributor serving the water, wastewater and stormwater sectors in Texas and Oklahoma. The completed transaction strengthens Core & Main’s operational reach in the South-Central United States and adds a long-established supplier to its national distribution network.
Based in St. Louis, Core & Main supplies products and services for water, wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection. The company works with municipalities, private water companies and professional contractors delivering projects across municipal, residential and non-residential sectors.
Pioneer Supply brings more than six decades of experience to the group, with distribution facilities in Moore, Oklahoma, and Weatherford, Texas. Originally launched as a small operation focused on supplying materials for municipal water and sewer systems in Oklahoma, Pioneer Supply has evolved into a multi-state distributor offering a broad portfolio of products and technical support.
Brad Cowles, who serves as president of Core & Main, highlighted the strategic value of the acquisition, stating: “Pioneer Supply represents a wonderful opportunity to expand our presence in Texas and Oklahoma. Their strong reputation for quality and service perfectly complements our mission to deliver exceptional value to our customers. Together, we will be able to expand our reach and create even greater opportunities for growth and success.”
Commenting on the transaction, William Dozier, chief executive of Pioneer Supply, said: “Pioneer Supply is proud to join the Core & Main family, given our companies’ shared focus on culture and supplying the best products and expertise to our customers. What began with a 4-person team supplying materials for the Oklahoma municipal water and sewer systems has grown into a trusted, multi-state supplier of products and services. We meet a variety of needs for our customers, and we are excited to bring that dedication to Core & Main.”
The transaction reflects ongoing consolidation within the water infrastructure supply industry, as distributors seek to broaden geographic coverage and enhance service capabilities amid rising investment in water, wastewater and stormwater systems.
