Collins Pipe & Supply acquires Power House Supply
Collins Pipe & Supply Co. has agreed to acquire Power House Supply Inc. of Newburyport, Mass.
All Power House employees will remain with the company. The acquisition expands Collins Pipe & Supply Co.'s distribution and engineering services into the largest industrial marketplace in the New England region.
“We are delighted to announce this acquisition and are thrilled that the dedicated and experienced Power House staff will be joining the Collins team,” said Brian Tuohey, president of Collins Pipe & Supply Co. Inc. “This acquisition strengthens Collins in two key areas. Both Collins and Power House have long been recognized throughout our industry for their acumen and expertise in the power and energy arenas. By joining forces, each company becomes stronger in our ability to serve each of these critical markets and with Power House’s location in Newburyport, Mass., we will now be able to greatly improve our service capabilities in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.”
“Joining the Collins team was a ‘win, win’, for both companies,” said Rick Boudrow, president and owner of Power House Supply. “Collins was a natural fit because the acquisition enables both companies to grow and expand into new geographic regions with additional product line capabilities. We also share a strong commitment to the ‘customer first’ service philosophy, a hallmark that has created a platform for growth and success at both companies.”
Collins is headquartered in East Windsor, Conn., and with the addition of the Power House facility, has nine locations in New England, upstate New York and Marcus Hook (greater Philadelphia), Penn.
