ANCHORAGE, Alaska—The Alaska Rubber Group has purchased five facilities to double its size and expand its distribution network.
The employee owned distributor of hydraulic and industrial hose, fittings and rigging supplies—which has three locations in Alaska: Anchorage, Fairbanks and Wasilla—bought the five operations, formerly known as the Pacific Rubber Group and all located in the state of Washington, to broaden its distribution capabilities to include the entire Pacific Northwest region, it said.
Businesses acquired include Pacific Rubber Inc. of Seattle; Timco Inc. at the Port of Tacoma; North Sound Hose and Fittings in Everett; Central Hose and Fittings in Pasco; and Inland Pacific Hose and Fittings in Spokane.
Each location will retain its original name, but each will be branded as an employee owned Alaska Rubber Group Company, according to the Alaska group.
