Water and wastewater products distributor Scruggs Company — a portfolio company of Rox Capital Partners — acquired Mid-American Valve.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Based in Kansas, MAV is a regional distributor of valves, fittings and related products used in the water and wastewater sector. The company serves municipalities and utilities across the Midwest. MAV distributes components essential to water and wastewater infrastructure throughout Kansas and surrounding states. By joining the Scruggs/NTS platform, NTS said MAV customers will gain access to a broader product line and expanded service options supported by a larger regional provider.

Based in Houston, Scruggs is a distributor, manufacturers representative and value-added provider of products, solutions and field services to the water and wastewater industry. It has a sister organization, Neil Technical Services, which services the water and wastewater industry in Texas with a fleet of electrical and crane service trucks. According to Scruggs, the combined platform offers product distribution along with installation, maintenance and technical services for municipal clients.

The acquisition increases Scruggs’ geographic presence and, the company said, enhances its ability to deliver integrated products and services to municipalities, utilities and industrial customers.

“The acquisition of Mid-America Valve is an important step in our strategy to build a full-service, multi-state platform for the water and wastewater sector,” Scruggs Company President Dan Myers said in an Aug. 28 news release. “MAV has established trusted customer relationships and a strong market presence. Together, we can deliver greater value through expanded products, responsive service, and broader coverage.”

MAV will continue operating under its existing name while drawing on the resources and service infrastructure of Scruggs/NTS. The company said customers can expect existing relationships to continue, with additional benefits from expanded product availability and integrated service offerings.
