The company has made 41 acquisitions in its nearly eight-year history, officials noted.
"This is another milestone in our continued growth journey, and it’s a testament to the strength of our business model combined with the dedication and expertise of our associates servicing their communities,” Core & Main CEO Mark Witkowski said in a statement.
