LEESBURG, Va., July 25, 2024 – Leading polymer manufacturer REHAU and Hugh M. Cunningham Companies (HMC) are pleased to announce their partnership that serves the mechanical and plumbing market in Texas and Oklahoma. Starting August 1, HMC will expand their trusted product line by representing REHAU polymer-based solutions for mechanical and plumbing systems. This partnership combines the long-standing industry expertise of both companies, providing enhanced services to contractors, engineers and wholesalers.

Spanning over nine decades, HMC has personified a sales agency for building products: mechanical, light industrial, waterworks, fire protection, turf, irrigation, HVAC, waterwell, agriculture and residential and commercial plumbing products. HMC represents the best manufacturers in the south-central United States: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. HMC employs over 180 people focused on one overriding goal: marketing, selling and servicing their vendors, to their customers, in their territory.  

Driven by enhancing lives for 75 years, REHAU will contribute to HMC’s dependable product line with polymer components built for long-term performance in mechanical and plumbing systems. The backbone of REHAU systems is RAUPEX® crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) pipe, first produced in 1968 and now used in heating, plumbing and geothermal applications. PEXa offers benefits over copper and other polymer piping such as cost-effective installation, enhanced temperature and pressure capabilities and corrosion resistance. In 2017, the company further pioneered the proprietary REHAU EVERLOC+® compression-sleeve fitting system, providing plumbing contractors and installers with quick yet secure connections. Offering a range of products to meet the needs of contractors and installers, the REHAU F1960 cold expansion fitting system is an additional option that supports safety, reliability and cost savings. Regardless of the REHAU fitting system chosen, RAUPEX pipe has a 25-year limited warranty. The high-quality, trusted products developed at REHAU are backed by a team of product experts who will support HMC representatives to deliver comprehensive project support to customers.

“Partnering with HMC is an exciting opportunity for REHAU to deepen our engagement with customers throughout Texas and Oklahoma,” says Mark Hudoba, Vice President of REHAU building solutions for the Americas region. “We look forward to expanding the reach of our trusted products through HMC’s esteemed industry expertise and exceptional customer service.”   

“The opportunity to partner with REHAU was an easy decision for us,” says Jim Ambery, President and CEO of HMC. “REHAU is fully committed to providing products that exceed industry standards as well as install-based solutions that reduce labor costs in the field with our contractor partners. The Hugh Cunningham team is honored to be part of the REHAU team.”

Aaron Reeves, Vice President of Sales at HMC, adds, “We are ecstatic and humbled to be in a partnership with REHAU. They have quality products that help us round out our overall package. Hugh Cunningham is excited about the new opportunity REHAU provides us.”
