Turner Supply, an independent industrial distributor, has acquired Progressive Supply of Woodstock, Georgia, a provider of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products and services. The transaction closed January 31, 2026, establishing Turner Supply’s first branch in the Atlanta and North Georgia region.
Following the acquisition, Progressive Supply will operate under the Turner Supply name and become the company’s ninth location. While Turner Supply has long served customers throughout North Georgia, this marks its first physical branch in the Atlanta market. Progressive Supply has earned a strong reputation supporting customers in construction, manufacturing, welding, metal fabrication, and utilities—markets that closely align with Turner Supply’s existing customer base.
“We’re excited to welcome Rick Klein and the Progressive Supply team to Turner Supply,” said Chip Schramm, CEO and President of Turner Supply. “Their commitment to service and their customer-first culture fit naturally with ours. Together, we’re well positioned to continue growing and to bring added value to industrial and commercial customers across metro Atlanta and North Georgia.”
Rick Klein, owner of Progressive Supply, emphasized continuity for customers as a key factor in the decision. “Our top priority was making sure customers could keep working with the same people they know and trust,” Klein said. “From the beginning, it was clear Turner shared that commitment. They’re bringing new tools, capabilities, and resources while preserving what’s made our business successful. That combination creates real advantages for our customers.” Customers will continue working with the same Progressive Supply team, now backed by Turner Supply’s technology platforms, broader product selection, and enhanced supply chain capabilities.
Founded in 1905, Turner Supply is a fourth-generation, family-owned industrial distributor headquartered in Mobile, Alabama. The company serves customers nationwide from nine stocking locations across the Southeast and is among the largest independently owned distributors of MRO and production supplies in North America. Turner Supply is a member of Affiliated Distributors (AD), the Industrial Supply Association (ISA), and supplyFORCE.
