J.D. Johnson Co., a Poughkeepsie-based plumbing, showroom, commercial heating and air supply business that opened for business in 1858, has been acquired by F.W. Webb Co., a Bedford, Massachusetts-headquartered wholesale distributor of plumbing, refrigeration and HVAC products.
The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. F.W. Webb, which was founded in 1866, also operates a training center in Newburgh.
“We chose Poughkeepsie because customers in the commercial and residential building trades who live and work in the Dutchess County community require a full-service wholesaler for planned projects, emergency jobs and ongoing maintenance and repairs and we see significant growth potential at this location,” said Bob Mucciarone, chief operating officer at F.W. Webb. “Our acquisition of J.D. Johnson Co., a business that has served the community for more than 150 years, complements F.W. Webb’s own unwavering, 150-plus-year commitment to supporting customers before, during and after every job – day after day and year after year.”
