US: Griffin expands its presence into the Midwest with new acquisition

Griffin Greenhouse Supplies has announced the acquisition of Waldo & Associates Inc., a Midwest horticultural distributor based in Perrysburg, Ohio. Waldo is a local distributor and greenhouse manufacturer focused on the small and medium-sized business market that has grown relationships that span 40 years and prides itself on the personal touch they offer each of their customers.

"With this expansion, Griffin ensures a strong and personal presence in the Midwest region while adding a suite of services to the Griffin and Waldo customer base, continuing our strong vendor relationships, adding plant resources and grower supplies that serve a wider array of products," says Managing Director Andrew Barry at Griffin.

Rick Cottier, President of Waldo agrees, stating "The alignment of customer-first values and collaborative culture makes this a natural step for helping our midwestern customers to access the broad range of products and services both Griffin and Waldo can stand strongly behind."

The Waldo sign shop will continue to operate under the Griffin brand to help growers, nurseries and retail centers guide and serve their customers, as the Perrysburg, Ohio distribution center is welcomed into the Griffin family of service centers nationwide.
