Commenting on the purchase Robert Grubbs, president and CEO of Anixter International, said, Combined with the recent hiring of several former sales and operations people from Anicom’s Detroit location, this puts us in a good position to increase our share in the sixth largest market in the United States.
We look forward to the opportunity to serve companies that were customers of Anicom’s Detroit office. We intend to work aggressively to eliminate the uncertainties and service issues these customers may have faced recently as a result of the circumstances that led to this transaction, Grubbs added.
The company said the acquired assets and recently hired sales people will be combined with Anixter’s existing operations in the Detroit area in the near future. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
