SRS Distribution Adds CORCO’s Commercial Roofing Division

SRS Distribution’s latest bolt-on adds a longtime Chicagoland commercial roofing business, continuing a busy 2026 acquisition pace for the Home Depot-owned distributor.

SRS Distribution announced May 29 that it has acquired the commercial roofing business unit of Industrial Cork Company, Inc., a wholesale distributor of commercial roofing and related accessories based in Elmhurst, IL.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Founded in 1935, Industrial Cork — also known as CORCO — is operated by Jeff DeJong and Dan Krasinski. DeJong will continue to lead the commercial roofing business under the SRS brand banner, while CORCO will continue operating its controlled environment building construction unit under Krasinski’s leadership. That unit was excluded from the transaction and will relocate to a new location, SRS said.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the CORCO roofing team to the SRS family,” SRS President Kent Gardner said in the announcement. “Jeff, Dan, and the entire organization have built an excellent reputation as a commercial roofing leader in the Chicago market.”

The deal marks SRS’ latest bolt-on acquisition amid a busy expansion stretch in 2026. Earlier this month, SRS completed its acquisition of Mingledorff’s — a Peachtree Corners, GA-based HVAC distributor with 42 locations across five southeastern states. That deal added HVAC distribution as a new SRS vertical.

SRS also announced a pair of April deals through its Heritage Landscape Supply Group platform in Chicago and St. Louis, and it announced three acquisitions in February, including LS Building Products in central Illinois and additional transactions in New York and Nebraska.

The acquisition activity has extended to GMS, which became a direct subsidiary of SRS and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of The Home Depot in September 2025 after Home Depot completed its approximately $5.5 billion acquisition of the specialty building products distributor through SRS. GMS’ 2026 activity has included its Canada unit’s acquisition of Peridot Supply, announced this week, along with earlier deals for Above Interior Distributors and Frontier Drywall Supply.

SRS has long been one of distribution’s most active acquirers, and that pace has continued under The Home Depot, which acquired SRS for approximately $18.25 billion in June 2024.
