What Acme Construction Supply does

Acme Construction Supply Co., Inc. is a family-owned, B2B commercial and industrial construction supply distributor founded in 1953 and headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The company sells approximately 19 product categories — including adhesives and sealants, anchoring and fastening, building materials, concrete products, electrical supplies, hand and power tools, jobsite supplies, ladders, lighting, material handling, pipe hangers and supports, safety equipment, strut and fittings, and welding products — to commercial and industrial contractors and construction professionals across seven Western U.S. states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming).

The company's commercial platform combines physical branch locations (with will-call pickup), a fleet-enabled overnight delivery service branded Night Owl, a Track My Truck delivery notification system, and custom fabrication capabilities (cutting, threading, grinding, assembly, anchors and embeds, pre-cast supports, rod and clevis fabrication). A dedicated Technical Products engineering practice provides seismic bracing, vibration isolation, equipment anchorage, and strut design services, positioning the firm above generic catalog distributors. Customer engagement is conducted through account-based relationships with personalized pricing, real-time inventory visibility, online ordering, part-number mapping, and integrated BillTrust invoicing and payment processing.

The business model is sales-led and account-based: revenue is generated through one-time purchases of construction supplies via direct branch sales, online ordering, and overnight delivery, with monthly billing offered on credit accounts to established contractors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires account login. In December 2025 the company announced it will join AD (Associated Distributors) U.S. division in 2026, signaling an industry consolidation event that will integrate Acme into a larger buying-group network. The firm is privately held, employs 251–500 people, and operates an e-commerce storefront alongside its physical distribution footprint.

Direct peers

• BMC Stock Holdings: Major U.S. distributor of building materials, lumber, and millwork serving professional builders and contractors. Comparable in serving commercial/industrial construction customers across the Western U.S., with branch-based distribution and complementary value-added services.
• Foundation Building Materials: Specialty distributor of building products including insulation, gypsum, and ceilings serving commercial contractors. Comparable in branch-based contractor distribution with complementary value-added services like fabrication and technical support.
• White Cap: One of the largest U.S. distributors of specialty construction supplies, serving commercial and residential contractors across multiple regions. Highly comparable to Acme in product breadth (tools, fasteners, safety, concrete) and contractor customer base, but with national rather than regional scale.
• ABC Supply Co. Largest U.S. wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, windows, and exterior building products, serving contractors with a branch-based model. Comparable to Acme's contractor-focused, branch-driven distribution approach and emphasis on contractor service, though more concentrated in roofing/exteriors.
• SRS Distribution: National building products distributor (roofing, siding, windows, insulation) serving contractors through a branch network. Comparable in contractor-focused, branch-driven distribution model and geographic expansion via acquisitions, though with a different product mix.

Broad incumbents

• Fastenal: National distributor of fasteners, tools, safety supplies, and MRO products serving industrial and construction customers. Overlaps with Acme's fastener, tool, and safety categories and serves similar end customers, but operates through on-site vending and branch model at much larger scale.
• Grainger: Major broadline MRO distributor with a deep catalog spanning tools, safety, fasteners, and electrical supplies. Overlaps with Acme in product categories and contractor/MRO customer base, but Grainger operates at massive national scale with a more industrial/facility-maintenance tilt.
• Ferguson (FERG): Large distributor of plumbing, HVAC, and related specialty products serving contractors. Comparable in branch-based contractor distribution and value-added services, though more focused on plumbing/HVAC than Acme's broader construction supply assortment.
• HD Supply (now White Cap-owned / Home Depot Pro): Large-scale diversified distributor serving construction, industrial, and facility maintenance customers. Comparable to Acme in serving commercial contractors and offering broad construction product lines, but operates at national scale with far deeper catalogs and procurement leverage.

Regional players

• W.W. Grainger / Würth Industry: Industrial fastener and supply distributor serving manufacturing and construction customers. Comparable in fastener, tool, and jobsite supply categories relevant to Acme's line, though with stronger industrial/manufacturing customer tilt and European roots.
