Travis Perkins plc
 PROFILE
Travis Perkins is an old friend to those in the construction industry. A leading builder's merchant in the UK, it sells more than 100,000 product lines of building materials and it rents tools at its more than 470 branches throughout the country -- and online. Its merchandise includes timber, plumbing supplies, nails, sheet materials, plasterboard, doors, heating equipment, building chemicals, paints, and bricks. The company's branches operate under names such as Travis Perkins, D. W. Archer, Keyline, and ToolMart (tool rental). Travis Perkins was formed by the 1988 merger of Travis & Arnold and Sandell Perkins and grew in 1999 with its purchase of one of its major rivals, CRH's Keyline 101-outlet chain.
