On July 19, Munch’s Supply, the HVAC division of Marcone, announced that it has acquired new companies: Wholesale Sheet Metal and Pile Protections Tops. These acquisitions expand Munch’s geographic footprint to 71 locations serving 17 U.S. states and one Canadian province.

The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. 

“The WSM/PPT acquisition will provide fantastic support in the sheet metal category to our O’Connor Company business unit, a Trane and American Standard HVAC distributor that has been part of the Kansas City market for more than 100 years,” said Bob Munch, chief business development officer at Munch’s Supply. 

“Sheet metal — especially custom orders — has been an area of opportunity in our business for a long time,” added Greg Borr, president of O’Connor Company. “Many of our customers have bought from WSM and PPT for years. This acquisition is a perfect way to continue to expand our service offerings.”

“I am incredibly proud of the legacy we have built for almost four decades,” added WSM/PPT owner Patrick Chilen. “With the help of dedicated employees and customers, we have become an industry leader for custom sheet metal and supplies in our market.”
