On June 30, Affiliated Distributors (AD) closed its merger with The Baron Group, a buying group serving independent groundwater systems distributors.

The Baron Group has served independent distributors and wholesalers in the groundwater, well, and pump industries for over 30 years. The merger agreement brings independent distributors with almost 100 locations across the U.S. and Canada to AD’s Pipe, Valves & Fittings (PVF) Division.

“This is our 14th merger with a fellow cooperative that shares our mission of supporting great independents and suppliers who value independents. We’re excited about how this will increase AD’s collective buying power, bring new opportunities to our supplier partners, generate additional economies of scale, and lead to more business together,” said AD Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg in a July 5 news release.
