Morrison Supply announces parent company

Morrison Supply Co. LLC, a Fort Worth-based wholesale distributor of plumbing, HVAC and builder products throughout the Southwest, is now part of an umbrella wholesale distribution entity called MORSCO.

MORSCO operates four companies, including 98-year-old Morrison Supply Co., Express Pipe & Supply in Southern California, Farnsworth Wholesale Co. in Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., and Wholesale Specialties in Denver, Colo. The company has more than 100 branches and showrooms located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Kansas. MORSCO branches also distribute commercial and residential plumbing, lighting, appliances, HVAC, pipe, valves, fittings, and oil and gas and waterworks supplies.

“Announcing MORSCO as an umbrella entity was a logical next step for us as our company continues to grow,” said CEO Chip Hornsby. “We have so much history with the Morrison Supply Co. brand and our relationship with the great city of Fort Worth, and look forward to our continued expansion, not only in Fort Worth but across the country.”
