Sterling Heights, Mich.-based The Macomb Group announced in late May branches in Jeffersonville and Evansville, Ind., formerly operated by Lockwood International, joined the company. The transaction will provide access to attractive markets and many new customers in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee, the company explained.

Led by General Manager Glenn Hollenkamp, the 24-member team — many of whom have worked together for more than 20 years — brings a wealth of expertise and relationships to The Macomb Group. “Our product offering and the types of customers we serve are an excellent fit with Macomb,” Hollenkamp said. “We’re looking forward to rolling out new product lines and capabilities in the months ahead.”

The Macomb Group CEO Bill McGivern added: Establishing a greater presence along the attractive Ohio River corridor to complement our branches in Cincinnati and Carrollton has been one of our long-time objectives. “When the opportunity presented itself, we assembled a multi-disciplinary team and moved quickly.”

Headquartered in Sterling Heights, Mich., The Macomb Group now operates 18 branches in six states, which includes Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Indiana, providing customers with access to more than $35 million of inventory.
