Fortiline Waterworks is one of the largest wholesale distributors of underground water, sewer and storm utility products in the United States. Founded in 1997, Fortiline distributes more than 75,000 SKUs to a diverse base of more than 4,000 contractor, developer and municipal customers through a network of more than 50 branches across the U.S. - 10 of which are located in Florida. With its current locations plans for future expansion, Fortiline maintains a strong presence in the Florida market. Our vision is to be the number one choice in all markets served, famous for an unrivalled customer and people experience in the industry. In 2016, Fortiline was acquired by MORSCO, a leading U.S. distributor of commercial and residential plumbing, waterworks and HVAC supplies. In 2018, MORSCO was acquired by The Reece Group, which operates Australia’s largest plumbing and bathroom supplies business, as well as eight others in allied industries. Nearly 100 years old, Reece is always doing something new and different, expanding into fresh areas, developing new technologies and systems and pioneering innovative products. Reece has more than 5,000 people in 600 branches across Australia and New Zealand. At Fortiline we’re committed to targeted expansion that meets the needs of our customers, but we’ll never grow so fast that we lose the agility, responsiveness or attention to detail that our customers have come to expect. In addition to main line water, wastewater and storm materials, we also specialize in treatment plants, trenchless pipelines, metering and municipal solutions. Our business is only as good as our partners. That’s why Fortiline is careful to offer the finest products available. With an eye for detail and our own fleet of delivery vehicles, we pledge to get our customers the underground utility products they need to effectively finish the job on time.
