Jergens Division JIS Acquires B&G Supply
JIS, a division of Jergens Inc., acquired certain assets of B&G Supply of Akron, OH.
B&G Supply has served Northeast Ohio industrial customers for over 40 years, with a focus on tools, abrasives and fasteners.
“By integrating my business into the JIS family, I will be able to give our customers many new opportunities, as well as giving our employees the opportunity to grow”, said Cindy Lukovski, president of B&G Supply for the past 20 or more years. Email: cindy@bgsupplyinc.com
One of the ways JIS differentiates itself from other distributors is by being the only industrial distributor that shares space with a manufacturer, which shortens set-up times, reduces cycle times and tooling costs, increases production and optimizes speed in their manufacturing processes.
“This acquisition allows us to expand geographically and get closer to our customers in the Akron/Canton area”, explained JIS GM Matt Schron.
JIS will be opening a new branch in the Akron/Canton area.
B&G Supply is located at 595 Miami St., Akron, Ohio 44311. Tel: 330 253-4600 Web: bgsupplyinc.com
JIS distributes metalworking products, representing over 300 manufacturers.
Founded in 1942, JIS is a division of Jergens, Inc., a manufacturer of standard tooling components, fasteners, hoist rings, vises, and other workholding equipment. JIS is located at 15700 South Waterloo Rd., Cleveland, OH 44110-3898. Tel: 216 486-2100 Web: jis.com
