GHX acquires Express Hose
GHX Industrial LLC has acquired Phoenix-based Express Hose & Fittings II.
Express Hose specializes in the distribution of hose, fittings, and other products to customers primarily in the Arizona mining industry.
Headquartered in Houston, GHX is a fabricator and supplier of industrial fluid transfer and sealing products to both the upstream and downstream energy markets. GHX is part of the United Distribution Group, headquartered in Bristol, Tenn., which was formed when GHX merged with United Central Industrial Supply in October.
The addition of Express Hose will significantly boost GHX’s presence in the metals mining market in the U.S.
“Of particular interest to us is the addition of the Arizona location which gives us the opportunity to work directly with another UDG company, United Central Industrial Supply, to expand our offering in the North American mining industry segment,” said Dan Ahuero, vice president of mergers and acquisitions for The United Distribution Group.
GHX president Richard Harrison said Express Hose & Fittings II will operate under the GHX family of companies and continue to service existing as well as new customers with its current and an expanded product offering.
