WESCO acquires Hazmasters

WESCO Distribution Inc.'s Canadian subsidiary has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hazmasters Inc.


Closing is expected to occur this month.

Headquartered in Ontario, Hazmasters generates approximately $80 million in annual revenue from 14 branches across Canada. Hazmasters is an independent Canadian distributor of safety products servicing customers in the industrial, construction, commercial, institution, and government markets. 

"Hazmasters has an excellent reputation for providing a comprehensive offering of safety products and superior customer service to a wide range of customers across Canada," said John J. Engel, WESCO's chairman, president, and chief executive officer.

This is WESCO's second safety-related acquisition in the last two years. The company acquired Conney Safety Products in July 2012.
