JB Industries completed its acquisition of C&D Valve (C&D) based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Both companies and their brands are expected to perform “business as usual” and continue to operate independently. The benefit to wholesalers and customers is a more expansive line of HVAC/R products and excellence in customer service.
C&D was founded in 1967 and is a U.S. manufacturer of valves, locking refrigerant caps, fittings, and tools. Also, in 2017, C&D launched the TekEdge line of vacuum pumps, scales, and leak detection products.
“The merging of our two companies and brands not only creates manufacturing synergy but brings two companies together who share core values. Our combined beliefs of best-in-class manufacturing, on-time delivery of high-quality products, ease of doing business, and durable core products means continued rugged and reliable products to our end users. Both facilities take pride in being headquartered in the U.S.A., which makes JB and C&D even more of a perfect combination,” said Lance Gill, president, C&D Valve.
JB Industries and C&D Valve have established a 50 year plus track record of design, expertise, innovation, and manufacturing. The strategic acquisition of these companies brings together resources and experience to work closely with customers and OEMs to help identify and develop new HVAC tools, valves, and fittings to meet unique and demanding requirements.
“We continuously seek ways to improve our product offering to satisfy the needs of our wholesale customers. The addition of the C&D brand is another step to improve and expand our product portfolio,” said Jeff Cherif, president, JB Industries, Inc.
