Three States Supply Company, LLC
The company was
founded in 1945 in Memphis, TN by George R. Mitchell and his son
N. A. Mitchell. The initial product offering after the war was
merchant steel products. The origin of the name came from the
geographical location that Memphis has in the center of three
states, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi.
From humble beginnings, the company grew and prospered. In 1951
they decided to expand into new headquarters and the first branch
location was opened in Little Rock, AR. The company continued
under the ownership of the Mitchells until 1977 when a privately
held New York holding company, UIS, bought Three States Supply
Company, LLC. The new owners encouraged expansion and under the
leadership of Charles M. Brejot, sales were increased 10 times
in the next twenty years. Branch locations were added in five
cities. Additional outside salespeople were added as well as a
large number of new products primarily in the sheet metal and
HVAC industries.
In 1996, the company was acquired by Watsco,
Inc., the nations leading distributor of heating and air conditioning
equipment and supplies. After the acquisition, the company expanded
its product offering to include heating and air conditioning equipment
and related parts. Three States is now a one stop HVAC supply
house.
Three States Supply continues to grow and currently has eighteen
locations in seven states (TN, MS, AR, AL, MO, KY, IL). By means
of an extensive fleet of delivery vehicles, the company is able
to supply its customers in all or part of ten states. The company
is proud of its heritage and it looks forward to the future. Because
of its dedicated employees and loyal customers the success of
THREE STATES SUPPLY COMPANY, LLC is insured for years to come.
