Buckeye Industrial Supply Co. (BIS), a Columbus, Ohio-based industrial products distributor has acquired Ray Industrial Products Inc. (RIPI), a distributor of industrial products, equipment, cutting tools, tooling systems and maintenance repair and operations supplies based in Van Wert, Ohio. BIS is said to carry nearly 200 brands in more than a dozen product categories.
“This acquisition expands our ability to serve customers throughout Ohio and Indiana,” says Rick Meizlish, president of BIS. “RIPI is a perfect addition to our business, and a credit to Dorman Ray, who built the company from the ground up and, after a short transition, is moving on to a well-deserved retirement.”
BIS will retain the RIPI name at the Van Wert location and Gary Rager will continue to serve as the branch customer service manager.
“RIPI’s customers should take comfort in knowing that we are committed to building upon the tradition of excellence that Dorman Ray and his outstanding team established and to providing the products and services that they have come to expect from a premier supplier,” adds Meizlish.
