BEDFORD, Mass. — F.W. Webb Co. has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the New York Yankees. The sponsorship names F.W. Webb the Official Plumbing; Heating; HVAC; Refrigeration; and Pipe, Valves, and Fittings (PVF) supplier to the New York Yankees through the 2021 baseball season. This marks the second MLB sponsorship for the company, which has been an official sponsor of the Boston Red Sox since 2006.
A family-owned business founded in Massachusetts in 1866, F.W. Webb has grown to become a $1 billion company with more than 90 locations across the Northeast, including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The company recently opened a nearly 1 million square-foot central distribution (CD) facility in New Hampshire that will more than double the inventory capacity of its previous CD.
"As our business footprint grows, we are excited to expand our brand presence by teaming up with one of the most recognizable brands in the world," said Jeff Pope, president, F.W. Webb. "We look forward to connecting with more customers in the tri-state area through our shared love for baseball and a passion for winning."
As a proud sponsor of the New York Yankees, the F.W. Webb name will appear on in-stadium signage, and the company will promote its partnership through advertising and customer engagement activities in Yankee Stadium and at F.W. Webb locations within the Yankees' territory.
"We are extremely eager to be partnering with F.W. Webb, especially given its great success as a family-owned company," said Michael J. Tusiani, senior vice president, partnerships, New York Yankees. "We look forward to working with F.W. Webb to further strengthen its brand awareness and increase product sales in the tri-state area and beyond."
F.W. Webb has been in the industry for more than 150 years. The company has received three "Supply House of the Year" recognitions from Supply House Times magazine, the official publication of the American Supply Association.
