Mechanical insulation distributor Distribution International, Inc. (DI) on Tuesday announced its acquisition of RB, LLC, one of North America’s largest marine specialty insulation distributors and fabricators.

RB operates two marine distribution and fabrication facilities, located in New Orleans and San Diego. They will become part of DI’s existing marine operations and will be led by Joey Viselli, SVP and general manager, U.S. East & Silvercote Division, according to the company.
