Fairmont Supply adds PVF distributors
Fairmont Supply Company announced that Industrial Pipe & Supply of Omaha and Industrial Pipe & Valve of Portland have joined the Fairmont Supply family of companies.
The Industrial Pipe companies supply pipes, valves and fittings (PVF) and other materials for large industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction projects, along with refrigeration facilities, aviation facilities, utility providers and heavy mechanical. The Omaha location was founded in 2007 and will continue to be led by Paul VanWerden, who has 35 years of industrial distribution experience. The Portland location was founded in 2014 and will continue to be led by Mike Baker, who has over 25 years of industrial distribution experience.
The company said the additions support Fairmont's growth strategy of bringing on strong companies with experienced teams of industry experts operating in attractive markets. Omaha, Nebraska, and Portland, Oregon, are two new markets for the Fairmont Supply family of companies with considerable growth potential for MRO and PVF businesses, Fairmont said.
Fairmont Supply entered the PVF market in 2007 with the acquisition of Piping and Equipment Inc. in the Gulf Coast region.
