Since its founding in 1982, ABC Supply Co. Inc. has grown into a $9 billion enterprise serving the needs of the professional contractor with exterior building material stores across the United States. The success that is chronicled in the history of ABC Supply is the result of an unwavering focus on a single, simple guiding principle—treat contractors with respect, and give them the products and services they need to build their businesses.

Co-founder Ken Hendricks spent many of his formative years working with his father, who was a contractor. While learning firsthand the “ins and outs” of the roofing and siding businesses. He became a successful entrepreneur in the roofing and properties business, but in 1982, Ken and his wife, Diane Hendricks, decided not to sit back and wait for better times to come. Instead, they chose to take a risk and acquire three supply centers. These centers were the first locations of the new American Builders and Contractors Supply.

Today, the company has more than 700 locations nationwide and is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing products in the United States, and one of the nation’s largest distributors of siding, windows and other select exterior building products.

ABC Supply remains an “employee-first” company that treats its associates with respect and gives them the tools they need to succeed. It is a 12-time winner of the Gallup Great Workplace Award.

ABC Supply's mission includes:

Stocking the brands and products contractors want and need at a competitive price, maintaining a state-of-the-art delivery system that ensures orders are delivered to the job site when and where they are needed, and listening to their customers to find out what they want and need .

ABC Supply's community involvement has always been important to ABC Supply founders Ken and Diane Hendricks, and they've instilled that value at ABC Supply, making volunteering and charitable support a vital part of their corporate culture.
