## Company history

Core & Main traces its roots to a predecessor waterworks distribution business dating to 1874. In 2005, Home Depot acquired National Waterworks Holdings and combined it with Hughes Supply; the waterworks business later operated as HD Supply Waterworks. HD Supply was acquired by private-equity investors in 2007 and went public in 2013. [31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P78838477)

In August 2017, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice acquired HD Supply Waterworks, which became an independent company and adopted the Core & Main name. The company expanded through acquisitions in the following years, including businesses in fire protection and regional waterworks distribution.
