For over 50 years, Sherwood Specialties has proudly represented manufacturers in the Wastewater, Water Well, Plumbing, and Industrial markets. Our success has always been rooted in strong, collaborative relationships with engineers, contractors, distributors, and wholesalers.
Sherwood was founded in 1961 by Robert Ellis and Vince Arcuri as a Water Well Manufacturer’s Representative, initially partnering with Dicken Manufacturing. Shortly thereafter, Warren Olson joined the company after graduating from Alfred University, launching a lifelong career with Sherwood. In 1992, Warren and a partner acquired the company and began a period of strategic growth. By 2008, Warren became sole owner, expanding Sherwood’s portfolio to better serve the Water, Wastewater, Plumbing, and Industrial sectors.
In 2024, Laurie Kellogg took the lead at Sherwood, bringing fresh energy and a commitment to deepening relationships with engineers, contractors, and wholesalers. Her focus includes expanding Sherwood’s bid spec work while continuing the high level of service our clients have come to expect.
Today, Sherwood operates with team members across eastern and western New York, covering all of western, central, eastern, and northern New York—as well as Long Island and New Jersey. We work closely with professionals in these regions to ensure that every project is backed by accurate design, planning, and specifications, helping our partners succeed from concept to completion.
