PROFILE |
 |
You Win some, you Win some more. So it goes for Primus, which invests in a collection of nearly 400 small wholesale distributors in about 40 states that sell plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, electrical, and other supplies to contractors and other customers. The companies are easily recognizable by their Win-prefixed names, such as Columbia Winnelson (plumbing products), Salt Lake Windustrial (pipes and valves), and Dayton Winfastener (specialty fasteners). Primus supports its companies, through units Dapsco and Distro, with bulk purchasing, warehousing, and data processing. Primus is owned mostly by heirs of the investors, including chairman Richard Schiewetz, who founded Primus in 1956.
