context_page_description: The Home Depot Pro, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the largest wholesale distributors and direct marketers of maintenance, repair and operations products for non-industrial businesses in the United States. The Home Depot Pro distributes a broad range of products such as HVAC, janitorial supplies, plumbing supplies and security supplies.
  The Home Depot Pro was established in 1978 formerly known as Wilmar Industries, founded by William S. Green. In 2000 Wilmar acquired Barnett together forming the company Interline Brands. Gradually Interline Brands diversified their customer base through the acquisitions of Sexauer, Trayco, Barnett, U.S. Lock, Leran Gas Products, Maintenance USA, Hardware Express and janitorial supply distributors AmSan, CleanSource and JanPak. In 2015 Interline Brands merged five of its janitorial brands into one unified brand called SupplyWorks. On July 22, 2015 The Home Depot acquired Interline Brands for $1.6 billion. Interline Brands was rebranded in 2018 as The Home Depot Pro. The former brand names of Interline Brands were renamed to The Home Depot Pro Multifamily, The Home Depot Pro Specialty Trades and The Home Depot Pro Institutional.
context_section_description: The Home Depot Pro Institutional first began as the Interline Brands subsidiary SupplyWorks. SupplyWorks was the result of five previous brands acquired over time by Interline Brands and merged into one unified brand. The re-branding makes SupplyWorks easier to grow under one brand instead of multiple brands. President & COO Kenneth Sweder says on the creation of SupplyWorks, "The launch of SupplyWorks punctuates the growth strategy we've been pursuing to build a leading share position in the highly fragmented institutional facilities maintenance end market. Supply stands for products and the Works represents everything the products do for the customer. The products of SupplyWorks produce $850 million, making up half of Interline Brands annual revenue.
  The products of SupplyWorks consist of a variety of cleaning solutions and janitorial supplies. There are over 3,000 brand supply partners of SupplyWorks such as Georgia-Pacific, Dart Container, 3M, Diversey, Kimberly-Clark and Spartan. SupplyWorks also has products unrelated to janitorial brands such as corrugated boxes, disposable food packaging and MRO products. Products can be purchased online or through a sales representative. After The Home Depot acquired Interline Brands it had also acquired the SupplyWorks brand. The Home Depot renamed SupplyWorks to The Home Depot Pro Institutional in 2019.
