Mechanical Supply Company has had a exciting history of steady & solid growth since we first starting supplying industrial pipe, valves, fittings and related products to companies in North Carolina & South Carolina.

A message from the President:
Mechanical Supply, (MSC) was founded in 1983 by three employees of Ferguson Enterprises who wanted to get back to the service and attention to detail that only a locally owned business could provide. Two of the founders still work for MSC, President Scott Reid and Vice-President and CFO Dennis Mullen.

The focus of our business runs the gamut from Industrial PVF, Mechanical PVF and Commercial Plumbing. MSC has provided material for Commercial, Textile, Chemical, Pulp and Paper, Energy, Fiber Optics, Food Service and many other applications to small local contractors and some of the largest construction companies in the country. Our fastest growing business is in the valve actuation and controls, much of which we ASSEMBLE right here in Matthews. While the emphasis in the past has been new construction, an increasing share of business is in the MRO and OEM sectors as customers have become increasingly disillusioned with industry attempts at integrated
supply and national agreements. When given the choice, customers usually prefer a strong local supplier.

Mechanical Supply still operates out of Matthews, N.C., a suburb of Charlotte. MSC has moved into larger facilities three times since its beginning. It currently operates out of a new facility built in 2000. In addition, MSC keeps an additional offsite pipe yard and storage facility in nearby Indian Trail. The inventory is among the most extensive and broad based in the region. And, the proximity to dozens of manufacturer warehouses in
the distribution hub of Charlotte allow the company to provide the quickest and most complete service to customers in the Southeast. Our fleet of trucks is rolling to construction sites and manufacturing plants from early in the morning until late at night.

Our philosophy has been to carefully balance sufficient size with the ability to provide individual attention and local decision-making. MSC is big enough to compete with the largest national chains. At the same time we have a continuity of people and focus that makes for long-term relationships with our customers. In 2002 MSC was proud to join Affiliated Distributors(AD), the nation’s largest buying group of independent wholesalers. Companies in AD represent over 17 Billion Dollars in sales.

But, the most important asset of Mechanical Supply is our people. As we enter our third decade of business, we have carefully assembled the top group of knowledgeable sales people in the industry. MSC has over twenty experienced veterans of the PVF and Plumbing industry. People who have worked for every major supplier in the business but now enjoy working from an environment where they can have more influence over the service they can provide. Many of our associates have been here over 15 years.

Mechanical Supply has the combination of experienced people, inventory, top quality products, and commitment to service to help you accomplish any job.

Sincerely,

Scott Reid
President of Mechanical Supply Company
