Interline Brands, Inc., headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the largest wholesale distributors and direct marketers of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products for non-industrial businesses in the United States. Interline Brands distributes a broad range of products such as HVAC, janitorial supplies, plumbing supplies and security supplies.
Interline Brands was established in 2000 when Wilmar merged with Barnett, including their acquisitions U.S. Lock, Leran Gas Products, Maintenance USA, Hardware Express, Trayco, and Sexauer. Gradually Interline Brands diversified their customer base through the acquisitions of janitorial supply distributors AmSan, CleanSource and JanPak. In 2015 Interline Brands merged five of its janitorial brands into one unified brand called SupplyWorks.[2][3][4] On July 22, 2015 The Home Depot acquired Interline Brands for $1.6 billion.[5]
History
Wilmar and Barnett
The origin of Interline Brands first began with Wilmar Supply Company in 1978. Wilmar was a hardware store in Collingswood, New Jersey founded by Martin Green and his son William Green.[6] To expand it's business beyond retail it began selling MRO products to area apartment complexes and then expanded geographically by distributing to multi-family housing businesses. Wilmar went public in 1996 and purchased 14 regional competing businesses before acquiring the Sexauer Group, a well-known and established distributor, in 1999. A leveraged buyout in May, 2000 took the company private in preparation for the next stage of growth.[7] Wilmar approached Barnett, Inc. about merging because the two businesses were very similar, but each targeted a different customer base. Wilmar's customers performed facility maintenance, while Barnett sold to locksmiths, retail hardware and contractors.
Wilmar and Barnett joined in September 2000 and named the umbrella company, Interline Brands.[8] Their guiding principle was to "change as little as possible about the way our customers currently do business with us".[9] Each of the businesses (including Sexauer) retained their identity from the customer's point of view, including salesmen, telephone numbers, products, etc. They realized the value of each company's brand, and preserved sales/marketing relationships built over the years. What did change was behind the scenes in accounting, distribution and administration, realizing economies of scale. In 2000, Interline had a total of 76 distribution centers, which they were able to shrink to 56 in 2004. A 319,000 sq ft (29,600 m2) national distribution center in Nashville, Tennessee was opened in 2001, reducing the inventory required at the local distribution centers and improving delivery times.[8] In late 2004 Interline went public as NYSE:IBI but was later delisted in September 2012 to become privatized.[9][10]
Acquisitions and rebranding of janitorial brands
To further expand the business of Interline the firm acquired several distributors of cleaning supplies. It first acquired American Sanitary or AmSan in May 2006 for $127.5 million. In the 1990s AmSan became a conglomerate by buying 44 independent janitor and sanitary distributors. Some of AmSan's acquisitions are AmSan Eve, AmSan Vonachen-Elton, AmSan Nogg Chemical & Paper, and AmSan West. In 2002 Michael Mulhern became CEO of AmSan. Mulhern moved the headquarters of AmSan from Raleigh, North Carolina to Chicago, Illinois. Under Mulhern AmSan underwent a series of reforms dedicated to increasing profitability. AmSan turned over 40% of its top 35 executives, downsized its office operations and downsized under-performing distribution centers. AmSan created its own line of products with Renown. Renown represented 20% of AmSan's total revenue. By 2005 AmSan had revenues totalling $300 million.[11] American Capital invested $25 million in the recapitalization of AmSan in 2005.[12][13] AmSan West, which has operations in Sacramento and Los Angeles, was not acquired by Interline Brands.[14] In 2008 AmSan established a sales and distribution territory in Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Nashville.[15][16][17][18] In 2009 a showroom and walk-in store was established in Fort Myers, Florida.[19][20]
Cleansource, a regional distributor of JanSan products, was acquired in October 2010 for $60.1 million.[21] CleanSource was founded in 1956 in San Jose, California. It distributes janitorial, food service supplies, and MRO products.[22] Customers of CleanSource consists of healthcare, education and institutional facilities. In 2010 CleanSource generated around $115 million in sales.[23]
A regional supplier of cleaning and packaging solutions called JanPak was acquired in 2012 for $82 million. JanPak was founded in 1945 in Bluefield, West Virginia by James Shott, H. I. Shott, Jr., James Tilson, L. M. Kerley Sr. and B. L. Early.[24] It was first called Paper Supply Company until 2000 when the name changed to JanPak Inc. Mike Shott, James Shott's grandson, was serving as company chair of the board directors at the time of the name change to JanPak.[25] The name changed to JanPak to unite its sister branches such as Charlotte Paper Company or Greenville Paper Company who each were known by a different name.[26][27]
On March 16, 2015 Interline merged AmSan, CleanSource, JanPak, Trayco, and Sexauer into a new national brand called SupplyWorks.[28] AF Lighting was also sold to Almo Corporation in March 2015 because lighting was a minimal part of the business of Interline Brands.[29]
Purchase by The Home Depot
The Home Depot acquired Interline Brands in July 2015 for $1.6 billion from P2 Capital Partners, Goldman Sachs' private equity arm, and the management of Interline Brands. The acquisition of Interline Brands allows The Home Depot access to expand its business to the multi-family sector, hospitality and industrial area. Craig Menear, CEO of The Home Depot, says that the purchase gives The Home Depot more opportunity to expand in the Maintenance, repair, and operations sector that was previously not successful.[5][30] In January 2016 Michael Grebe retired leaving Kenneth Sweder as the new CEO.[31]
Operations
The company staffs 30 showrooms throughout North America with 70 strategically placed distribution centers stocking over 30,000 products under the brands Wilmar, Barnett, SupplyWorks, Hardware Express, Maintenance USA, U.S. Lock, and Copperfield.[3] Its customer base includes:
- Facilities maintenance businesses servicing multi-family housing facilities, educational institutions, lodging and healthcare facilities, government properties and building service contractors
- Professional contractors who repair, remodel and build residential and non-industrial facilities
- Specialty distributors, including plumbing and hardware retailers.
The Interline companies offer plumbing, electrical, HVAC, security hardware and janitorial products, but nearly half of Interline's sales are plumbing products. Their goal is to provide premium products at competitive prices with same or next-day delivery. "Get It Right. Get It Now." is the company slogan. Products are sold using multiple channels: direct sales by national account representatives or field representatives, telephone sales, customer service representatives, direct marketing through flyers & catalogs, "pro centers", vendor managed inventory, and Internet-based service.[32] Most Interline Distribution Centers include a customer center for over-the-counter sales which Barnett customers prefer. In markets with a sizeable customer base but no distribution center, Interline would look for an existing single-location supply house that could be purchased and turned into a "pro center"—a small contractor showroom and pickup facility that stocks high turnover items.[8] Next day delivery is shipped using Interline Brands delivery trucks. Third party carriers such as UPS and Saia is also used for customers outside of the next day service area. There are also will call or pick up locations at most Interline Brands locations. Products can be purchased online or through a sales representative.[33][34][35]
Interline Brands contains eight brand names to serve contractors, specialty distributors, housing maintenance and janitorial needs. The products from these brands are stored in distribution centers and contractor showrooms in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.[36]
