Earlier this year, SRS Distribution Inc. announced its acquisition of Rising Star Wholesale, a wholesale distributor of siding, windows, doors, and other complementary products. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, Rising Star is owned and operated by Bob Myers. The company employs a team of 17 people. Corey Myers, Bob’s son, and Amber Twohig, a longtime employee of Rising Star, will lead the business going forward.

“We are delighted to welcome Bob and the rest of the Rising Star team to the SRS family," said Dan Tinker, president and CEO of SRS. "The company’s siding, window, and door expertise will be an outstanding complement to our existing roofing-focused operation in the market. We look forward to building upon Rising Star’s reputation for exceptional service and are truly excited by the prospect of what we can accomplish together.”

Bob Myers, owner of Rising Star Wholesale, said he couldn't imagine a better home for Rising Star and looks forward to the growth opportunities the company will have with SRS's resources and capital.

“We are so pleased to have found a like-minded partner in SRS," Myers said. "It was clear from our very first conversation that they share our passion for treating employees like family and prioritizing the needs of our customers."
