DAYTON, Ohio — Winsupply Inc. has acquired Milford Companies of Justin, Texas, a distributor of pipe, valve, and fitting (PVF) and waterworks equipment.

Milford Companies has been operating since 1972, supplying materials and rental equipment required for infrastructure needs, with five locations across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

The details of the purchase were not disclosed. Sparkstone Capital Advisors and OMM represented Milford Companies during the transaction.

Chase Brown, who currently serves as the COO of Milford, will continue leading the company as president.

“It’s truly rare to find two businesses that share each other’s core values, like Milford and Winsupply. Milford has been part of my family for three generations, so I didn’t take it lightly when we decided to find a partner,” Brown said. “We had the privilege of exploring various options during this process, and Winsupply stood out as the clear choice to carry our legacy forward. From our first meeting, it was clear that our business styles were nearly identical. We are confident that this partnership will not only preserve the rich history of our business but also pave the way for many more generations of entrepreneurial success.”

Shawn Beard, the CEO of Milford, will continue to play a role in the business as an actively involved leader and member of the board of directors.

“From the first meeting with Milford’s leadership team, we knew they had something special that would work great within the Winsupply model,” said Steve Coen, director of business development at Winsupply. “Milford excels at wholesale distribution, showcasing a strength that aligns well with the strategic goals of Winsupply. Milford’s emphasis on customer success is evident, as Milford has dedicated efforts to create services that contribute to their customers’ victories.”
