The Great Lakes Fasteners Group has acquired Superior Components Supply (SCS), headquartered in Concord, NC.

Superior Components Supply, founded by Chuck and Donna Gerlach in 2014, supplies manufacturers with a range of fasteners along with kitting service and managed inventory programs. The company possesses an inventory of truck and trailer products, including hinges, handles and latches.

“Joining forces with Kevin and the Great Lakes Fasteners Groups is an exciting opportunity for us. We share a common commitment to quality and customer service, and this partnership will us to serve our customers even better,” Chuck Gerlach said in a July 17 news release. “We worked very hard to build this business and when we met Great Lakes it just felt right. Superior now has the platform and resources to accelerate our growth and expand our products and services.”

The Great Lakes Fasteners Group, headquartered in Twinsburg, OH, is a fastener distribution and manufacturing company that provides customers with an array of standard, metric and made-to-print fasteners.

“Expanding our distribution capabilities into the Atlantic region and southern states has been a strategic priority for our team over the past several years,” commented Kevin Weidinger, President of the Great Lakes Fasteners Group. “We found the ideal partner in Superior Components Supply, a company with an incredible reputation for its quality products, responsive service and local customer base. The integration came together seamlessly. I am thrilled to welcome Chick and his exceptional team to the Great Lakes family.”
