The Macomb Group is proud to announce that Deacon Industrial Supply will now operate fully under The Macomb Group name, marking the final step in the successful merger that took place in 2023.

Over the past year, the combined teams have worked together to enhance service, expand capabilities, and strengthen a shared commitment to excellence. Today, The Macomb Group stands as one of the largest independently owned industrial distributors in the country — offering over 100,000 SKUs, expanded product lines, enhanced specialty divisions, and a broader service footprint.

Former Deacon CEO Bill Vail, now serving as executive vice president and partner at The Macomb Group, and the existing ownership of Macomb remain deeply engaged in day-to-day operations. Their continued involvement ensures that customers receive the same dependable service and support they have relied on for more than six decades.

“This merger has strengthened our capabilities, enhanced our responsiveness, and deepened our commitment to our customers,” Vail said. “We remain independent, present, and now more equipped than ever to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.”

What Customers Can Expect:

• More inventory and product availability

• Faster delivery and expanded logistics

• Access to new specialty services and technical expertise

• The same people, service, and values—now with even more support

Moving forward as one team under The Macomb Group, the mission remains the same: to provide industry-leading products, service, and solutions—backed by the experience and integrity customers have come to rely on.
