ST. LOUIS — Core & Main Inc., a water infrastructure provider, is acquiring Louisville-based Geothermal Supply Co. (GSC), a fabricator and distributor of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and other related products.
“Adding GSC to the Core & Main family will create exciting new opportunities for us in an important and expanding area for HDPE. The GSC team’s wealth of knowledge and expertise in the industry fit in well with our existing fusible product offering, and we are confident this will be a positive partnership for both new and existing customers,” said Steve LeClair, chairman and CEO of Core & Main.
Primarily serving the geothermal, water and sewer industries from a single location in Kentucky, GSC has been a leading provider of HDPE products since its start in 1996.
