White Cap buys two construction supply distributors
White Cap has expanded its operations in North America with the acquisition of two businesses: Advanced Forming Solutions (AFS) in the Pacific Northwest and Anchor Construction Industrial Products in Western Canada.
AFS and Anchor Construction Industrial Products are now part of the White Cap suite of brands, branches and value-added services.
With over 40 years of combined experience, AFS is a provider of concrete forming and shoring solutions and equipment to large-scale projects in commercial, civil, government and institutional end markets in the Pacific Northwest, based in Castle Rock, Washington.
For over 50 years, Winnipeg-based Anchor Construction Industrial Products has been one of Western Canada's largest distributors of fasteners, power tools, anchors, construction supplies, abrasives, firestop and safety products, serving industrial and commercial end markets with six locations across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario.
"We are pleased to grow our presence in both the U.S. and Canada with these two strong teams," said White Cap CEO Alan Sollenberger. "These acquisitions help us serve our customers faster and more efficiently, while creating growth opportunities for our associates and strengthening our local teams. We're looking forward to building upon the strong foundations these businesses have established."
