Eastern Pennsylvania Supply Co

General information

Dear Valued Customers, Vendors and Business Partners, I am pleased to announce that effective Thursday, December 1, 2016, Eastern Pennsylvania Supply Co., headquartered in Wilkes- Barre, PA, a division of W. H. Conyngham & Co. Inc., has entered into a definitive agreement of sale to Hajoca Corporation of Ardmore, PA, whereby Hajoca Corp. (aka Hajoca), will acquire certain assets of Eastern Pennsylvania Supply Co. (aka EPSCO). At this time, we expect to close this transaction on Monday, January 23, 2017. The terms of this transaction, by mutual legal agreement, will not be disclosed. EPSCO is a family-owned wholesale distribution firm in plumbing, heating, and electrical goods. It was founded in 1889 and services generally the northeast quarter of Pennsylvania with eleven (11) branches. Hajoca is also a family-owned corporation, founded in 1858, with hundreds of locations across the United States. EPSCO has cultivated a strong relationship with Hajoca over the last several years and we see this as an excellent strategic and geographical fit for both parties. We expect to continue and most certainly improve the same high level of service to our most valued asset – you, our customers -- and want to thank all of you for your friendship, support, and business. Post-transaction, Ren Schuler, Vice President/Operations will continue as Region Manager of Hajoca EPSCO region and Joseph Kerestes, Vice President Finance as Operations Manager. George Conyngham and Donald Conyngham will continue to be available for consultation as needed, but have elected to distance themselves from day-to-day operations. We want to assure you this will be business "better than usual". Sincerely, George G. Conyngham, Jr., President
