Everflow Supplies, a national master distributor specializing in plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and industrial products, has secured a growth equity investment from affiliates of Paceline Equity Partners, a Dallas-based private equity firm. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The investment comes with a leadership change aimed at accelerating the company’s expansion. Industry veteran Andrew Pacifico has been appointed chief executive officer, while founder David Templer will transition to chairman and president of strategic projects. Templer will retain a significant ownership stake and remain actively involved in the company’s strategic direction.
Founded in 2000, Everflow operates seven distribution centers across New Jersey, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The company offers more than 20,000 SKUs, serving contractors and distributors across the plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and industrial sectors. In 2024, Everflow expanded its reach with the acquisition of SPP, a master distributor with a strong presence in the energy and OEM markets.
“Everflow has built an impressive platform with strong customer relationships and national scale,” said Sam Loughlin, CEO of Paceline Equity Partners. “We’re excited to support the next phase of the company’s growth.”
Pacifico, whose previous leadership roles include stints at Fortiline Waterworks and Reece USA, emphasized Everflow’s customer-centric culture as a foundation for future expansion. “The team has done a remarkable job building a trusted brand in the market,” he said. “I look forward to leading Everflow as we invest further in products, operations, and customer experience.”
Paceline’s investment is expected to support product line expansion, logistics improvements, and strategic growth initiatives as Everflow looks to deepen its position in an increasingly competitive wholesale distribution market.
