Watsco, Inc. has closed its acquisition of Jackson Supply Company, expanding its HVAC distribution footprint across the Sunbelt in the United States.
Jackson Supply was founded in 1972 and has operated in the HVAC distribution industry for more than 50 years. The company reported $230 million in sales in 2025.
The acquisition adds 25 locations and approximately 5,000 contractor customers across Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arizona. Watsco said these are among the fastest-growing markets in the United States.
Jackson Supply will retain its name, vendor relationships, go-to-market strategy, brand identity and culture. The company will continue to be led by its existing leadership team.
Albert H. Nahmad, Watsco’s Chairman and CEO, said: “We are thrilled to officially welcome Jackson Supply into the Watsco family. Jim Durrett and his exceptional team have built one of the most respected and entrepreneurial businesses in the HVAC distribution industry over more than five decades. We are humbled by their success and look forward to investing in their growth and supporting their ambitions for years to come.”
Watsco said the transaction supports its commitment to expanding its share of the estimated $74 billion North American HVAC/R distribution market and that it remains engaged in seeking additional growth opportunities with independent distributors.
