EMS, a value-added distributor of aluminum products and a portfolio company of Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. (“Wynnchurch”), today announced the acquisition of American Metals Supply (“AMS” or the “Company”), a distributor of aluminum products serving the patio and industrial end markets.
Over its 25-year history, AMS has built a reputation for customer service, product availability, and reliable delivery across a broad range of aluminum products serving residential, commercial, patio, and industrial applications. Founded in Tampa, Florida, AMS has expanded its footprint across the United States while maintaining a highly service-oriented operating model.
Mike Swedick, CEO of EMS, said, “Like EMS, American Metals Supply has a high touch service model that combines responsive service and consistent execution on the aluminum products that contractors and manufacturers rely on every day. The acquisition expands EMS’s geographic reach and improves our capabilities across key end markets. We are excited to welcome the AMS team to the EMS family and look forward to continuing to build on their foundation.”
“We’re excited to join EMS as we accelerate our growth trajectory, expand our capabilities, and deliver on our commitment to our customers,” added Kevin Gonzalez, CEO of AMS.
Since Wynnchurch’s acquisition of EMS in October 2019, EMS has completed seven acquisitions, including AMS.
Foley & Lardner LLP acted as legal advisor to EMS and Wynnchurch.
