Its product portfolio includes a wide range of plumbing supplies, bathroom fixtures, heating and cooling equipment, waterworks infrastructure, refrigeration systems, irrigation and pool products, valves, pipe and fittings, water heaters, kitchen and laundry fixtures, decorative lighting, and hardware.

The company serves a diverse customer base including plumbing professionals, builders, contractors, and maintenance service providers, with significant operations in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
In recent developments, Reece has expanded its product and service offerings through strategic acquisitions, including the 2022 acquisitions of International Quadratics (IQ) and Dontek, which strengthened its position in the pool and irrigation market segments, enhancing its suite of pool technology, pool builder, and maintenance products. In 2024, the company further diversified by acquiring Melbourne-based venture studio Shadowboxer and web design agency Southpaw to accelerate digital innovation in the trade and construction industries. These moves align with Reece’s strategy to digitize customer experiences and provide integrated digital tools for trade professionals via its subsidiary reecetech, including the maX digital business management app.
