Lewis-Goetz acquires Industrial Rubber and Supply
Lewis-Goetz and Company Inc. announced it has acquired certain assets of Industrial Rubber and Supply of Savannah.
The Savannah, Ga.-based distributor provides fabricated industrial rubber products and related services. The acquisition closed on Feb. 29.
“The southeastern U.S. is an area where we have focused acquisition related resources for years. IR&S will help expand our presence and create density in an important geographic market. It helps solidify our position in the pulp and paper markets which remains a focus of our national account activities,” said Jeff Crane, president and CEO of Lewis-Goetz.
Lewis-Goetz is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., and is part of the ERIKS Group of companies, one of the world’s largest industrial distributors.
Johan Sleebus, chairman of the executive board of ERIKS Group, said “The Executive Board fully supports Lewis-Goetz in their acquisition plans. The further growth of LG and our other North American-based companies – ERIKS Seals and Plastics, Rawson, Newdell, Diamond Gear, Industrial Controls and Quantum – is in line with the commitment of ERIKS to expand further in North America in the coming years."
