OUR STORY
Founded in 1994 in Denver, NC, Tarheel Contractors Supply, Inc. (Tarheel) began as a dedicated distributor for Melfred Borzall, a leading manufacturer of premium tooling for the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry. Over the years, we expanded our product offerings to include drill rods, conduit, and drilling fluids, enhancing our ability to support contractors with top-tier equipment and materials.
By 2001, our focus shifted toward technical sales and expert support, fueling rapid growth and solidifying our reputation as a trusted industry partner. In 2005, a strategic marketing initiative led to our expansion into Eastern North Carolina and Virginia, and today, our service territory stretches from Georgia to Maryland, reaching inland to Tennessee.
At Tarheel, our greatest asset is our team—a group of dedicated, knowledgeable, and hardworking professionals who understand that exceptional customer service is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to rapid response times and strong technical expertise sets us apart, ensuring our customers receive the best solutions for their HDD needs.
When it comes to HDD, we don’t just sell the tools—we KNOW THE DRILL!

“Tarheel Contractors Supply provides us a single source for our underground utility construction needs. Tarheel offers more than just products – they offer in the class and in the field training on drilling products (additives), from application, to mixing, handling, and even bulk order processing. They will find the best solution for the customer. And if you have a difficult bore, and the mud isn’t right – they will come out to the jobsite and assist you to get it right! They also stock the down hole tools and equipment that we need, and they know and document what we use. If I need an adapter, they have a detailed knowledge or what other tools we’ve purchased, and how best I can adapt those items. And when there is a new product available, they contact me – to help keep me informed. When it comes to product…they stock a full line and array of conduit, duct and pipe, enclosures, vaults, adapters, couplers to meet the needs of our customers. That means I can meet and exceed my customers’ expectations – because of Tarheel Contractors Supply.”

“We have been working with Tarheel for 15+ years and throughout those years, we have found them to be great people and an awesome company to work with. Tarheel has always gone out of their way to give the best and quickest customer service from start to finish. When we have had additions to projects and need items overnighted, they jump right into action and get it done. I would also give them 5 stars for the quality of all their products from HDPE, drilling mud mixes, to their tools. Again, a great reliable company.”
