DistributionNOW acquires Updike Supply
DistributionNOW announced the acquisition of Updike Supply Company, a provider of MRO products and inventory management solution services headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.
Updike will operate in the Machine Tools Supply and Manufacturing Services group, which was established after DNOW’s acquisition of Machine Tools Supply (MTS) in January 2015.
"The combination of these two respected companies will further strengthen DistributionNOW's core offerings of technical applications support and inventory management solutions to the manufacturing segment," the company said in a press release announcing the acquisition.
According to the company's website, Updike Supply was founded in 1968, and is focused on reducing the total cost of ownership of perishable tools and industrial supplies for metal cutting and forming businesses in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky through the use of our experience, innovation and technical expertise.
