Wayne, Pennsylvania-based buying group AD on Monday announced it has completed mergers with SafetyNetwork and Delta Distributors. The deals mark the group’s 11th and 12th mergers since it started in 1981, and its fourth and fifth in the last two years. Both mergers were effective Jan. 1.

“We’re grateful to welcome to our community the exceptional companies that comprised SafetyNetwork and Delta,” said Bill Weisberg, AD’s CEO and chairman. “Growing our membership across and within industries benefits existing members and new ones. The increased scale coming from our multi-divisional platform allows us to field a dynamic team of professionals with expertise in a wide range of industries, disciplines and functional areas. The programs and services they develop and oversee accelerate AD member and supplier success.”

Together, members from SafetyNetwork and Delta represent over $3 billion in total annual sales, adding to AD members’ total annual sales of more than $45 billion.
