HVAC and Plumbing Wholesaler, VP Supply Corp
expands with two acquisitions.
VP Supply Corp. announced it has acquired two companies
operating in Central New York.

Rochester–based VP Supply, which operates locations in Syracuse,
Baldwinsville, and New Hartford, provides wholesale plumbing;
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); renewable
energy; and kitchen products for both contractors and retail
consumers.
VP Supply in December acquired Tri-Bro Kitchen & Bath Supply,
which has locations in Vestal and Norwich, the Rochester company
said in a news release. The acquired firm is now operating as
Tri-Bro Supply, a division of VP Supply Corp.
The Vestal location offers products and services for plumbing,
HVAC, kitchen and bath projects, along with a retail showroom,
VP Supply said. The Norwich location offers products for
plumbing and heating needs.
VP Supply also acquired United Fasteners & Hardware, which
operates just outside the city of Auburn, in a transaction that
closed in October, the release stated. The company has one
location that provides hardware supplies such as nuts, bolts,
screws, and paints.

The three new branches
expand VP Supply’s existing footprint of 13 branches and eight
showrooms that are located across New York and western Pennsylvania,
the company said.
The acquisitions increase VP Supply’s total employee count to 312.
VP Supply’s 80,000-square-foot Rochester warehouse and “increased
buying leverage” will support the new locations, the company said.
VP Supply Corp. liked the operations at Tri-Bro and United Fasteners
and figured they were a “good match” in organizational values, Gary
Perkins, vice president of VP Supply Corp., said in the news
release.
“Tri-Bro’s products and services mesh nicely with VP Supply’s
offerings, and give us two physical locations to better serve our
existing customers in those areas,” Gary Perkins, vice president of
VP Supply, said. “And by bringing United Fasteners on board, we’re
better able to serve our Auburn contractor base with an expanded
product offering.”
