Brighton-Best Acquiring EZ Sockets
Brighton-Best International acquired EZ Sockets Inc. in an asset sale. EZ Socket owners Ed Werner and Mildred Werner will retire in two months.
New Jersey-based EZ Sockets supplies domestic and imported socket screw products to distributors.
EZ Sockets was founded in 1978 by Isadore (Izzy) Mintz and Ruth Ringel Mintz and their daughter Mildred Werner and son-in-law Ed Werner.
Brighton-Best president Jun Zu said the “combined strength of BBI and EZ Sockets will provide tremendous value and benefit across the distributor channel.”
Werner told FIN that EZ Socket’s broad range of socket products, reputation and presence will help BBI, which will “capitalize on the depth of our inventory.”
