Mobile, AL-based Turner Supply will continue to serve Benchmark’s customers, while also providing access to a broader product offering and expanded resources. Benchmark’s legacy employees will join Turner Supply, ensuring continuity and a smooth transition for their customers, company officials said in a news release. Turner Supply’s field sales specialists and customer service teams will work alongside their new colleagues from Benchmark to expand service capabilities and strengthen relationships across the region.

“Their expertise in abrasives and surface finishing complements our existing product portfolio, and together we will continue to provide exceptional value and support to our customers,” Turner Supply CEO and President Chip Schramm said.

The Benchmark asset purchase marks the fourth transaction Turner has completed since 2019 and the 10th overall.
