GME Supply Acquires Farwest Line Specialties
GME Supply announces the acquisition of Farwest Line Specialties LLC.
Farwest, headquartered in Atascadero, California, has spent decades assisting utility line workers and infrastructure professionals in remaining safe and productive on the job.
This acquisition contributes to GME’s North American expansion plan, which includes supplying contractors in infrastructure-related industries such as telecommunications, utilities, renewable energy, and commercial construction.
“Farwest is a great fit to join our team,” GME President and CEO Caleb Messer stated. “There is immediate crossover between our existing customers, and the partnership will expand our capabilities and GME’s ability to provide unmatched customer service and expertise. Beyond expanding the product offering available to Farwest customers, the acquisition also provides additional locations, opportunities for stocking product, and technology features like GME PRO and Gearcor to make it easier and faster for customers to get the gear they need.”
“We at Farwest Line Specialties strive to offer great customer service, product availability and product knowledge. We also value customer relationships,” Farwest COO Matt Clemens said.” Our values align with those of GME, and we look forward to teaming up as we seek to improve the customer experience with greater accessibility to products, advances in technology and a larger team.”
“Platte River Equity welcomes the Farwest team members to the GME organization. The acquisition expands GME’s supplier relationships and presence in the utility market, mirroring how prior acquisitions have enhanced GME’s presence in other infrastructure-related industries,” Mike Reilly, Vice President of Platte River Equity explains.
