GHX Industrial acquires Anchor Industrial Sales
GHX Industrial has acquired Kernersville, N.C.-based Anchor Industrial Sales Inc.
Founded in 1993 by John Raczenski, Anchor operates from a 12,600 square foot facility. Anchor is a value added distributor of gaskets and fluid sealing products sourced from manufacturing partners such as Flexitallic, Garlock, and SEPCO. Anchor’s core customer base consists of chemical plants, contractors, pulp and paper, steel mills and OEMs. In addition, the company provides sheet, rubber, metal and heat exchanger gaskets as well as seals, packing material and expansion joints.
Former owner, John Raczenski, will remain with the company.
“GHX welcomes the Anchor team to our organization. Their culture of providing great service and building strong customer relationships in the Eastern region of the U.S., continues to strengthen the GHX portfolio and will further expand our footprint for national account opportunities with the chemical industry and OEM customers,” said Richard Harrison, president of GHX Industrial.
Houston-based 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 Anchor Industrial Sales location compliments our already strong North American presence,” said Darrell Cole, president and CEO of The United Distribution Group.
