January 7th, 2009At the end of January 2009, George T. Sanders Company (GTS) will have completed its acquisition of Houston Supply Company (HSC) in Wyoming. The two companies signed an agreement under which GTS acquired the assets and operations of HSC.
“We are excited about the opportunity to leverage our past success in Colorado into the state of Wyoming, with the acquisition of HSC. HSC has been in business 50 plus years, and has strong customer and em¬ployee loyalty, which are vital ingredients for success,” said Gary Sanders, executive chairman of GTS.
HSC has two Wyoming store locations, in Casper and Cody. They service a broad region of the state from these locations. GTS is the largest independent plumbing wholesale supplier in Colorado, with 12 locations serving the major population centers in the state.
HSC will continue to operate as Houston Supply Company, a division of GTS. Present HSC personnel will continue the Wyoming operations, reporting to GTS management.
