Water, sewer and fire protection products distributor Core & Main, St. Louis, has closed on its previously announced agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Long Island Pipe Supply, Inc., a provider of fire protection products and fabrication services in the U.S. The acquisition, Core & Main’s seventh since becoming an independent company in August 2017, adds more than 20 fire protection locations to Core & Main’s footprint. Financial terms were not disclosed.

“The acquisition of Long Island Pipe Supply expands Core & Main’s presence in the Northeast, primarily in New York and New Jersey. Our combined distribution channels will strengthen our ability to offer our customers fabrication services and additional products nationwide,” said Brad Cowles, president of Core & Main Fire Protection.
