September 19, 2016

GLENDALE, Calif. — Acco Engineered Systems announced that it will join forces with All Area Plumbing, a regional design-build plumbing contractor serving Southern California. Adding All Area Plumbing’s capabilities, Acco said it will strengthen its position as one of the largest mechanical contractors in the western United States. Acco offers broad capabilities in the design, construction, and service of commercial and industrial HVAC, plumbing, process piping, electrical, and building automation controls systems. With the combination, the company said Southern California customers will have access to comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) solutions.

Since its inception in 1993, All Area Plumbing has provided commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical piping services to the Southern California market. Its leadership team combines field experience with progressive installation knowledge.

“Given our history and success together, this partnership is a powerful response to our changing industry. Our two companies have experienced expanded opportunities together for the past few years, and implementing this new strategy will allow for immediate growth in capabilities and further developing value to our broad customer base,” said Robert Felix, president, All Area Plumbing.

Acco said that, since 1934, owners and builders have selected the firm to design, install, and maintain more than 250,000 mechanical projects.

“The addition of AAP signifies the solution for Acco to deliver the needed and complementary expertise in plumbing construction and service in the Southern California market.
