Core & Main completes acquisition of R&B Co

10th acquisition will grow waterworks reach in California

April 1, 2020

Core & Main LP, distributor of water, sewer and fire protection products, just announced that it has completed the acquisition of R&B co. in San Jose, California. The acquisition is Core & Main’s 10th since becoming an independent company in August 2017.

“With the acquisition of R&B, we grow our presence in the California market, where Core & Main has been underrepresented, and we do it with the great team at R&B. We value their excellent reputation and commitment to customers. We want to build on their longstanding customer relationships and enhance the business with complementary products and services,” said Jack Schaller, president of Core & Main Waterworks.

Based in San Jose, Calif., R&B Co. has 12 locations, offering industrial and municipal customers a broad waterworks product offering and fabrication services.
