GMS Inc. , a North American distributor of gypsum wallboard and suspended ceiling systems, announced the acquisition of two distribution businesses: the GSD distribution operations of Grabber Construction Products, Inc. in Concord, California and the GSD assets of CMH Distributing, Inc. in Kearney, Nebraska.
The acquisition of the Grabber Concord operations represents GMS’ entry into the San Francisco Bay Area and provides a key foothold to begin servicing one of the largest metro areas in the U.S. The acquisition pairs the operations of Grabber Concord, which has serviced customers in the Bay Area for over 30 years, with the operational expertise, service and scale of GMS subsidiary J&B Materials, Inc. The Concord location will represent the seventh location for J&B including those currently in Southern California and Hawaii.
