Los Angeles-based master distributor Industrial Valco (IV) recently announced the purchase of Beric Valves, a Houston-based producer of cast and forged steel gate, globe, check and ball valves, for the United States and its territories.
In addition to the Beric Valve brand name, the purchase includes URL addresses, websites, social media accounts as well as trademark assignments. The Beric Valve website www.bericvalves.com will continue to operate separately to help with immediate FAQs and quotes, but will fall under the leadership of IV’s team.
“This is a game-changer for the company,” said Matt Arellano, COO of IV. “We believe that Beric’s extensive and competitive product catalog coupled with IV’s strength in same day, MRO distribution give us a distinct competitive advantage to share with our customers. And we’ll be able to promote this advantage across all social media and online platforms.”
The purchase of Beric Valves will not change any of IV’s other valve relationships, which are focused on the AML marketplace.
