Alamo Iron Works Acquires SGS Industrial Supply
San Antonio-based Alamo Iron Works, a subsidiary of Industrial Distribution Group, has purchased the assets of SGS Industrial Supply Inc. SGS is a leading distributor of steel and industrial products in the Rio Grande Valley.
AIW will expand its distribution network in South Texas by joining operations with SGS. The combined company will provide increased field sales support, improved inventory levels and a comprehensive catalog of industrial supply and steel products and services, the company claims.
“This opportunity allows us to enhance our historical position in the Rio Grande Valley while maintaining the valuable relationships nurtured by SGS,” says AIW President F.M. Shea. “We are in a position of strength thanks to the investment and commitment of our parent company, which has allowed us to successfully grow the business and take advantage of timely opportunities.”
SGS has locations in Brownsville and Pharr, Texas.
“Existing AIW customers now have access to two new locations in the Valley, while SGS customers have access to expanded products and steel services that were not available to them before this combination,” says Scott Prince, a lead board director for IDG.
