General Plumbing Supply Inc. (GPS) announced the acquisition of Consolidated Plumbing Supply Inc. (CPS) in an asset purchase effective July 19, 2024.

CPS is a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor of plumbing and heating supplies located in Mt. Vernon, N.Y. CPS is Westchester’s oldest Kohler distributor with a 45,000 sq ft facility, including a 3,500 sq ft showroom.

Buddy Brandt and Doug Bradford, co-owners of CPS, will assist with the transition before their planned retirements later this year. Chris Brandt, as well as all other CPS employees, will be staying on with GPS.

Justin Freedman, president of GPS commented, “We are excited to welcome the Consolidated Plumbing Supply employees to the GPS family. Consolidated has established a strong presence in Westchester over almost 100 years of business. This addition extends our footprint into N.Y. state while offering greater reach for our key brands including Kohler, Luxaire HVAC, Rheem water heaters with the addition of several new vendors from Consolidated’s line card.”

Buddy Brandt added, “I’m confident this new venture will be a success and continue our legacy of family business values along with customer satisfaction and loyalty.”

GPS and CPS share the same family-owned values, dedication to customer service and tightknit culture, and look forward to continuing to provide that experience to CPS customers while expanding their service area for existing GPS customers in Northern N.J. and Westchester County.
