ABC Supply Expands through Acquisitions

Building products distributor ABC Supply Co. Inc. has acquired the assets of Siding World, a distributor of siding and other exterior building products, including roofing, windows, doors, decking and gutters. The 40-year old company has locations in 17 markets in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

With the conclusion of the transaction, the Siding World stores have become the newest ABC Supply locations. The former Siding World stores join 15 existing ABC Supply branches in Michigan, 13 in Ohio and eight in Indiana.

“We are very happy to welcome the members of the Siding World team to our ABC family,” said Keith Rozolis, president and chief executive officer of ABC Supply. “Siding World’s strong position in the siding market complements the ABC Supply product offering and expands our ability to serve contractors in these markets.”

All of the Siding World branch associates are remaining with the organization. That means Siding World customers will continue to work with the people they have come to know and rely on.

Siding World’s Michigan stores are in Battle Creek, Chesterfield, Clio, Detroit, Fenton, Inkster, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Livonia, Madison Heights, Saginaw, Sanford, Waterford and Wyandotte. There are two locations in Indiana – South Bend and Goshen – and one in Toledo, Ohio.

In addition, ABC Supply Co. has acquired the assets of Wameling Drywall Corp. (doing business as Gilbert Supply Company), a single-location distributor of exterior building products, wallboard and insulation, in Marcy, N.Y.
The branch, located at 9206 River Road, becomes the newest ABC Supply store and is the company’s first in the Utica/Marcy, New York market.

“The Utica/Marcy area is poised for growth,” said Tom Kuchan, vice president of ABC Supply’s Northeast Region, citing the Nano Utica initiative, a public-private partnership that is expected to bring more than 1,000 high-tech jobs to the area and help create New York’s second major hub of nanotechnology research and development. “We look forward to being part of that growth by serving the area’s residential and commercial contractors.”

ABC Supply had been serving Utica/Marcy-area contractors from its branches in Syracuse, New York and Schenectady, New York. “With the addition of a branch in Marcy, we will be able to meet their needs more effectively and efficiently,” Kuchan said.

Customers will continue to work with the Gilbert Supply team they have come to know and rely on, he added. Anthony Wameling, president and co-owner of the former Gilbert Supply is joining ABC Supply. Vincent Conley, vice president and co-owner of the former Gilbert Supply, has retired.
