The NEFCO Corp., has acquired Contractors & Industrial Supply (CIS), Inc., a specialty construction distributor servicing the Southern Virginia and North Carolina markets.

“We are focused on continuing to provide the absolute best customer experience for the contractor,” said David Gelles, president and CEO of NEFCO. “The strategic addition of CIS aligns perfectly with our family culture and mission to serve as an invaluable resource for our customers by providing quality products, reliable service and technical expertise. The fact that the top management group at CIS and all of their highly-skilled and well-trained employees are jumping on board with us is a huge plus.”

With the addition of the three CIS locations in Greensboro, N.C.; Roanoke, Va.; and Harrisonburg, Va., NEFCO will now have 10 strategically located distribution centers up and down the East Coast.

Since 1986, CIS has been focused on servicing commercial and industrial contractors with a core competency in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades.

“We have heard about NEFCO for years,” said CIS President Pete Moses. “To join forces with NEFCO is a perfect opportunity for our team. This combination will turbo charge our business and improve our capacity to support our current customers and many more to come.”

NEFCO has distribution centers located in Boston, Hartford, New York City, Albany, Philadelphia, Washington D.C, Fort Lauderdale, Greensboro, Roanoke, and Harrisonburg. These strategically located branches ensure next day delivery to the contractor’s jobsites.
