Donald Ferguson Jr. undertook the largest expansion of the firm to date. He sought representation of quality oriented manufacturers who had a well established presence in the industry. He expanded the offering, building upon the firm's representation of the Marley line, to include Armstrong Pumps, Griswold Filtration and other water related equipment. The firm became the only manufacturer's representative to offer air and water products. In 2003, the firm relocated to a larger building at its present location at 898 Route 146, Clifton Park, NY. Ferguson Jr. also hired additional sales and support staff to support the growing needs of the business.
