Lebanon, Pa. — Following weeks of negotiating and strategizing, APR Supply Co. is prepared to announce the acquisition of W.G. Balph Company. The transition began June 2014, with the completion of a four-branch addition to be completed with the subsequent year. W.G. Balph Company is a plumbing, heating and HVAC distributor founded in 1926 by Bill Ralph. In 1995, ownership of the company passed to the MacVitties. The business operated two branch locations – one in Pittsburgh, PA and the other in Greensburg, PA.
“The acquisition of Balph Company represents a continuation of APR’s aggressive growth strategy. More specifically, this move is an extension of our existing joint venture business model,” said David Robinson, COO at APR Supply Co.
