Cohn & Gregory

What Cohn & Gregory does

Cohn & Gregory Supply, LLC is a Texas-based industrial Pipe, Valve, and Fitting (PVF) distributor and pressure vessel fabricator founded in 1977 and headquartered in Haltom City (Fort Worth area). The company distributes pipe, valves, fittings, sanitary stainless, steam, hose, and gasket products from a broad manufacturer roster (Victaulic, Spirax Sarco, Viega, NIBCO, Apollo, Bray, Weldbend, Flexitallic, Lamons, and others) across seven Texas branch locations: Fort Worth (HQ), Dallas/Lavon, Sherman, Paris, Cleburne, Waco, and Houston (operating as Texas Pressure Connections).

Beyond distribution, the company offers in-house fabrication (cut, bevel, groove, thread, weld), vendor managed inventory (VMI), project management with material test report (MTR) documentation, and integrated delivery/material coordination. Its customers span seven verticals: oil & gas (primary, including skid manufacturers and midstream), food & beverage, industrial manufacturing, institutional (hospitals, universities), municipal (water/wastewater treatment), pharmaceutical (BPE-standards compliant), and power generation. The company is privately held and was acquired by Venturi Supply, a Trive Capital-backed industrial products distributor, in October 2024, ending 47 years of independent ownership.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based: there is no e-commerce storefront, no corporate call center, and customers interact directly with experienced local employees, including after-hours emergency contacts at each branch. Revenue is generated through quote-based, one-time project and maintenance/MRO sales with no public pricing; non-stock items ship FOB shipping point. No proprietary technology, software platform, or AI capability is disclosed.
