What is Stz?
STZ Industries, formerly known as G&S Supply, has a rich history dating back to its formation in Chicago in 1935. Initially focused on local plumbing product distribution, the company evolved significantly in 1984 by commencing product manufacturing under the LDR brand. This strategic pivot allowed STZ to expand its reach by supplying plumbing supplies to home centers, hardware distributors, and mass merchants. A pivotal moment occurred in 2015 when LDR was acquired by Coda Resources, leading to further integration and strategic direction. In 2019, STZ Industries divested its fashion plumbing business, solidifying its focus and rebranding to its current identity, STZ Industries.

The company's transition from a local distributor to a manufacturer and its subsequent acquisitions point to a strategic approach to sustained growth and market leadership.
