“Like the Core & Main team, they add value by serving as knowledgeable and trusted advisors to municipalities and contractors,” said Core & Main CEO Steve LeClair in a Jan. 30 news release. “We are excited about this opportunity to extend our geographic reach, expand the range of products and services that we offer, and add key talent into our organization.”

The distributors entered into a definitive agreement. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

On Jan. 16, St. Louis-based Core & Main — No. 1 on MDM’s 2023 Top Distributors List for Industrial PVF and No. 9 for Industrial Distributors — announced the completion of their previously-announced acquisition of Lee Supply Company, and on Jan. 9 they announced they will acquire Eastern Supply.
