BUILDING TOMORROW'S ADVANTAGE
We understand the unique opportunities and challenges faced by founder and family-owned businesses in an industry where those with the capital, resources, and relationships required to catalyze growth rise to the top.
At ADH, we are committed to creating a differentiated distributor of HVAC parts and equipment and are seeking partners who share our vision and believe that success is equal parts strategy, execution, and adaptability.
OUR PARTNER COMPANIES
CTC Supply is a Fayetteville, NC-based distributor of HVAC equipment, parts, and supplies used primarily in residential single-family and multi-family end-markets.
About CTC Supply
Founded in 2000 by Keith Sutton, CTC Supply ("CTC" or the "Company") began as a small HVAC distributor dedicated to providing exceptional service to contractors in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Built on the core values of hard work, treating employees like family, and delivering genuine value to customers, CTC has steadily grown into a trusted name in the HVAC industry, with multiple locations across North Carolina.
Over the years, CTC has earned numerous awards from its vendor partners in recognition of its outstanding performance in both sales and technical support. Additionally, CTC is a proud member of BLUE HAWK, a member-owned HVAC cooperative. While these awards are a testament to CTC's commitment to excellence, the true reward is the continued trust and loyalty of its customers.
Today, CTC enters a new chapter with Keith’s son, Cole, leading alongside him and the Company poised for continued growth and expansion. CTC remains focused on providing the same dedication and customer service that has made the Company a preferred partner for HVAC contractors across North Carolina, and looks forward to building on its legacy in the years ahead.
