Master distributor Smith-Cooper International has acquired Flo-Rite Products Co., a Vancouver, Wash.-based distributor of valves and accessories. Effective Feb. 11, the acquisition will complement the SCI line of signature fittings and nipples and will allow the company to offer a more comprehensive product line.
Flo-Rite, founded 20 years ago, produces a line of private-label valves sold exclusively to wholesalers. The products will be available through SCI's distribution outlets throughout the United States by the end of the year.
