“We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Frank, Maria, and the rest of the Weatherpanel team," said Dan Tinker, president and CEO of SRS Distribution. "The company is one of the oldest and most respected independent distributors in New York and will be a perfect complement to our B&L Wholesale Supply branches in the region. It is truly an honor to welcome Weatherpanel as the newest member of our amazing family."

Tinker noted the transaction also marks a milestone in SRS history as the 100th acquisition since its founding in 2008.

"I’d like to extend a sincere ‘thank you’ to all of the loyal and hardworking members of the SRS family for making this possible. We could not have achieved such tremendous success without each and every one of you," Tinker said.

Vacanti said Weatherpanel has always prided itself on being an independent distributor with a reputation for taking care of its people and putting the customer first, making it a natural fit for SRS. 

"After meeting with the folks at SRS, we discovered a rarity in the distribution industry — a national company that shares our values, operates like a family-owned business, and is supported by a fanatical team that loves what they do," Vacanti said.

Wrafter added that everyone Weatherpanel has interacted with at SRS throughout the process has been upbeat, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. 

"We couldn’t be happier about our decision to join SRS and are incredibly optimistic about what the future holds for all of our dedicated employees," said Wrafter.
