Fortiline Waterworks has opened a new location in Daytona Beach, Fla. With this new branch, Fortiline now has nine locations in Florida and 43 distribution branches in 12 states.

“We had a growing need to more quickly serve our customers in the Daytona Beach area,” said Ben Cagle, vice president of operations for Fortiline. “This new location will allow us to be more responsive to current and new customers in between our Orlando and Jacksonville branches.”

In 2016 Fortiline has opened six new branches across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. In October, Fortiline was acquired by MORSCO, Inc., a Fort Worth-based distributor of commercial and residential plumbing products, HVAC and PVF.

“Our strategic growth plans really took shape in 2016, through our new branch opening efforts and agreement with MORSCO,” said Mike Swedick, president and CEO of Fortiline. “We’re excited for the future and we look forward to continuing to build our waterworks platform while collaborating with the leadership team at MORSCO to build a world-class distribution company.”
