Winsupply Inc., one of the nation’s largest wholesale distributors, has acquired a Texas company with two locations.

Rural Pipe & Supply is a first-generation, family-owned and operated business founded in 1999 by Tommy and Amanda Shaver. Headquartered in Jasper, Texas, the company operates two locations: Rural Pipe & Supply in Jasper and Rural Pipe & Plumbing Supply in Livingston, Texas.

The company specializes in providing a wide range of waterworks and construction-related materials, including PVC and HDPE pressure pipe, sewer pipe and fittings, irrigation pipe, and cast iron pipe products. Serving contractors, municipalities, and residential customers, Rural Pipe & Supply supports essential infrastructure and construction projects throughout the region.

“This acquisition is a strategic move that expands our presence in the dynamic Texas waterworks market,” said Jeff Dice, President, Winsupply Inc. “This deal aligns perfectly with our decentralized model, allowing us to quickly integrate a partner where we can add immediate value.”

The company has a total of 18 employees, including owners Tommy and Amanda Shaver. Both owners will remain with the company in leadership roles.

“Rural Pipe & Supply has built its reputation on a strong commitment to both employees and customers, consistently prioritizing responsive service and a willingness to assist with every call and opportunity,” Amanda Shaver said.

As a small business with a highly customer-focused approach, Rural Pipe & Supply has established itself as a trusted local provider. This commitment to service and shared values is a key reason the owners felt aligned with Winsupply as a business partner.

This is Winsupply’s second acquisition of fiscal year 2027. The company acquired Central Corp. in Wisconsin in February.

“It is an excellent addition that accelerates growth and allows us to pick up market share in this critical geography,” Dice said.
