This is a list of the largest companies active in the Hardware & Plumbing & Heating Equipment & Supplies Merchant Wholesalers industry. This differs from market share in the following example: One business with revenues of $100 million generates 10% of its business from the Hardware & Plumbing & Heating Equipment & Supplies Merchant Wholesalers industry. A second firm, with revenues of $20 million, generates all of its business from this industry. In our list, we show the businesses having revenues of $100 million and $20 million, respectively.
