Plumbing contractor sold
Hughes Supply, a leading distributor of construction, repair and maintenance-related products based in Orlando, Fla., announced today that it completed the acquisition of Todd Pipe & Supply, which it calls the largest independent wholesale plumbing supplier in Southern California and Las Vegas. The price was not disclosed.
Todd Supply, based in Hawthorne, Calif., has one Las Vegas branch office that employs 48 people, said Allen Adams, local branch manager. Adams said all the local employees will stay with the company.
Karl McMillen, owner and chairman of Todd Pipe, founded the company in 1966. Adams said McMillen sold the company because he wanted to retire and thought Hughes Supply was the best fit for the company's employees.
