F.W. Webb Company, is an American wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, HVAC, industrial, commercial, building and construction supply products in the northeastern United States.
Founded in 1866 in Boston by John Van Ness Stults as one of the city’s first plumbing wholesalers, it evolved under various ownerships before Frank W. Webb purchased and renamed the Boston branch in 1899. Purchased in 1933 by Roger Pope, the company is now under the third generation of Pope family ownership. Today,[when?] it is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, and operates over 100 locations across nine Northeastern states, serving commercial, residential and industrial clients. The company extends its reach through nearly 50 Frank Webb Home retail showrooms alongside its expansive wholesale branches. F.W. Webb has achieved steady growth through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, rising to become the largest distributor of its kind in the Northeast United States. Its product portfolio spans plumbing, HVAC/R, waterworks, fire protection, commercial refrigeration, process controls, propane gas equipment, pumps, and specialty industrial components.[1] As of 2024[update], F.W. Webb employed over 3,300 people and generated approximately $2.3 billion in revenue, according to Forbes.[2]
