Turner Supply Acquires Progressive Supply, Expanding Presence into Atlanta Market
MOBILE, Ala. – February 1, 2026 – Turner Supply, a leading independent industrial distributor, announced today the acquisition of Progressive Supply, a Woodstock, Georgia-based provider of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) solutions. The transaction closed on January 31, 2026, marking Turner Supply's entry into the Atlanta and North Georgia markets.
Progressive Supply will operate as Turner Supply, becoming the company's ninth location. While Turner Supply has served customers throughout North Georgia for many years, this will be the company's only branch location in the Atlanta market. Progressive Supply has built a strong reputation serving construction, manufacturing, welding, metal fabrication, and utilities customers. The company's customer base aligns with Turner Supply's existing core markets.
Chip Schramm, CEO and President of Turner Supply, added, “We are excited to welcome Rick Klein and his team at Progressive Supply to the Turner Supply family. Their core values and culture of high touch customer service are a strong match for Turner’s. We are all eager to continue on our growth path together as we leverage our resources to deliver even more value to the metro Atlanta and north Georgia industrial and commercial markets.”
Rick Klein, owner of Progressive Supply, said, “Our priority was ensuring customers could continue working with the same team they've always trusted. Every interaction I had with the Turner team reinforced that this was the right decision. Their commitment to continuity and to preserving what's made us successful has been clear from day one. They're adding new capabilities and resources without changing our approach, and that is a powerful combination for our customers.”
As the Progressive Supply team joins Turner Supply, customers will work with the same trusted professionals they've always known, now supported by Turner's technology platforms, expanded product offerings, and supply chain solutions.
