White Cap has acquired Ace Contractors Supply for an undisclosed amount. The transaction brings the Austin, Texas-based distributor into White Cap’s national network, expanding the buyer’s footprint in the central Texas construction market. Ace Contractors Supply will continue to operate under its existing name, with its team remaining in place to serve local customers.
Ace Contractors Supply supplies leading brands across major construction categories, maintaining a large inventory to support projects that require immediate product availability. The company also offers a sourcing service that locates hard-to-find items through an extensive supplier network, with rapid delivery to job sites within a 200-mile radius of its Austin store. White Cap, a national distributor of construction supplies and safety equipment, gains a local operation with deep customer relationships and a reputation for quick turnaround.
The acquisition is strategic for White Cap as it strengthens the company’s presence in a growing regional market. Ace’s established inventory and sourcing capabilities complement White Cap’s broader product portfolio, allowing the combined operation to offer a wider range of solutions to contractors and builders. The deal also provides Ace’s customers with access to White Cap’s larger distribution infrastructure, which may improve product availability and delivery options beyond the current service area.
White Cap’s purchase of Ace Contractors Supply reflects a continued consolidation trend in the construction supply sector, where larger distributors seek to acquire regional players with strong local expertise. For Ace, joining White Cap offers access to additional resources and a broader supply chain, while retaining the operational knowledge that has driven its success in Austin. The combined entity is positioned to serve both existing and new customers with an expanded catalog and more efficient logistics, though specific integration plans have not been disclosed.
