On Oct. 20, Kentucky-based electrical and plumbing supply distributor Wiseway Supply announced it acquired plumbing supply company Stearns Supply of North Vernon Indiana.

The acquisition expands Wiseway Supply’s service area into Indiana with one branch. The branch will add to Wiseway Supply’s 10 branches and two Design Showrooms located in Southwest Ohio, and in Northern and Central Kentucky.

“The acquisition of Stearns Supply fits well with our long-term plan of strategic, profitable growth,” said Wiseway Supply’s CEO and President John Cain in an LinkedIn post.

Former Stearns Supply owners Wayne and Keither Stearns said in the news release that Wiseway Supply will be able to “service our very diverse customer base, perhaps even driving faster growth in our footprint with their innovative solutions and processes.”
