AFC Industries (AFC) has announced that it has acquired Aurora, Ont.-based IRWIN Industrial. The purchase allows AFC to expand its Canadian footprint.
“Canada is an important market for us and we recognized we would need additional resources and infrastructure in Canada for it to reach its full potential. We were looking for a Canadian partner whose culture and approach to the business would fit well with ours. Irwin quickly rose to the top of the list, and we are thankful to be able to add them to the AFC family,” stated AFC CEO Kevin Godin.
IRWIN was founded in 1970 and specializes in customized vendor-managed inventory programs and supply chain solutions for unique components across a broad range of industries.
“We are excited to join the AFC team. We see in them the same perseverance, commitment to exceptional service, and values that are at the core of how we approach our customer relationships. I am confident that together we will be able to continue to grow and to do it the right way,” stated IRWIN owner and president Glenn Irwin.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
