Griffin Greenhouse Supplies acquires Midwestern horticultural distributor
Griffin Greenhouse Supplies has acquired Waldo & Associates, a Midwest horticultural distributor based in Perrysburg, Ohio.
This acquisition intends to strengthen Griffin’s presence in the Midwest to give Waldo customers access to new products and services while maintaining the customer-first values that both companies share.
Griffin and Waldo customers can now benefit from a blend of synergies to give growers, nurseries and independent garden centers increased access and buying power advantage of quality products, service and on-demand knowledge to help growing operations thrive in all regions.
“With this expansion, Griffin ensures a strong and personal presence in the Midwest region while adding a suite of services to the Griffin and Waldo customer base, continuing our strong vendor relationships, adding plant resources and grower supplies that serve a wider array of products faster and more efficiently,” said Andrew Barry, managing director at Griffin.
“The alignment of customer-first values and collaborative culture makes this a natural step for helping our midwestern customers to access the broad range of products and services both Griffin and Waldo can stand strongly behind,” said Rick Cottier, president of Waldo.
The Waldo sign shop will continue to operate under the Griffin brand to help growers, nurseries and retail centers guide and serve their customers, as the Perrysburg, Ohio distribution center is welcomed into the Griffin family of service centers nationwide.
