We operate Australia's largest plumbing and bathroom supplies business and have expanded our service offering into eight other allied industries.
In 1920, H.J. Reece started out by selling quality hardware supplies from the back of his ute in Victoria, Australia. Later that year he opened the first Reece store in Caufield, as the home of exceptional tools and expert advice.
Today, Reece has a presence in every state and territory. We're continually expanding into fresh areas, developing new technologies and systems and pioneering innovative plumbing and bathroom products.
We operate over 600 branches across Australia, supported by our extensive national distribution network and our support team at our global headquarters in Cremorne, Victoria.
Reece has been operating in New Zealand and supporting local customers since 2006 through its branch network spanning the North and South Island.
Alan Wilson’s late mother Ngaere was from the North Island of New Zealand and for many years, Alan contemplated expanding Reece across the Tasman Sea, but he waited patiently for the right opportunity.
In 2006, Reece expanded to New Zealand with the acquisition of long-established and respected operator L.G. Carder.
Fast forward to 2019 when Reece doubled the size of its New Zealand business and expanded onto the South Island for the first time with the acquisition of Edward Gibbons.
From its initial Auckland base, Reece now proudly operates on both islands and supports consumer and trade customers through its plumbing, HVAC, Refrigeration and Bathroom Life branches and showrooms, all uniquely designed and stocked to accommodate the needs of our Kiwi customers.
In 2018, MORSCO joined the Reece Group and Reece entered the United States.
Before MORSCO became Reece USA, it was known as Morrison Supply Company. From its humble Texas roots, Morrison quickly grew into the strongest independent plumbing supply company in the south-west. Like Reece, the business evolved to service more allied industries as it expanded across the Sun Belt of the United States.
Today, Reece USA supports residential, commercial and infrastructure building customers across the Sun Belt region through our extensive network of branches and showrooms.
After three years of learning and growing together, in 2022 MORSCO officially became Reece USA. Reece USA is our platform for growth, representing an opportunity to bring our customised service offering to a fragmented but high-demand market. Reece USA is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
