GHX Industrial acquires Valley of Birmingham
GHX Industrial has acquired the assets and operations of Valley of Birmingham, a distributor of gaskets and fluid sealing products.
The Pelham, Ala.-based company provides a wide range of MRO products and is well known by its customers for its factory trained and certified specialists and for providing 24/7 service as well as “just in time” service throughout the region it serves.
Jerald Johns, who co-owned the company with Richard Anderson, will remain with GHX and assume leadership for this location as branch manager.
GHX is a wholly owned subsidiary of The United Distribution Group.
“Expanding our North American service area is an ongoing strategic focus for the United Distribution Group and the acquisition of the Valley of Birmingham location compliments our already strong North American presence,” said Darrell Cole, president and CEO of The United Distribution Group.
Richard Harrison, president of GHX Industrial, stated “GHX is excited to welcome the VOB team to our organization. Their relationships and service record in the Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia region, specifically in the power generation and OEM sectors, continues to strengthen the GHX portfolio and will provide additional synergy throughout the Northern Alabama territory when coupled with our current Decatur, Alabama branch.”
