Alro Industrial Supply announced the acquisition of certain assets of Triad Industrial Sales located in Kernersville, North Carolina.
Triad began in 1991 as a cutting tool distributor by Howard and Darlene Chipman. Darlene currently runs the business and will remain with Alro through the transition period.
In a statement, Alro Vice President of Business Development & Marketing, Brian Glick said, “As is true with all fine companies, the experienced and committed people that are part of Triad have helped build the company over the years. We are delighted that the Triad culture of great customer service matches that of Alro and you can count on us to carry on that tradition.”
This transaction will provide significant benefit to Triad’s customers both in Alro’s broad product range and their proprietary SmartCell Tool Management Solution. Glick added, “Alro is excited to have a footprint from which to grow in a new market that is expanding.”
