McKinney, TX – December 17th, 2021:
Heritage Pool Supply Group, Inc. (“Heritage”) announced today that it has acquired EMSCO Distributors and OP Aquatics (collectively “EMSCO” or the “Company”), a leading family-owned wholesale distributor of pool and spa products in the Midwest. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Strongsville, Ohio, the Company was founded in 1969 by Ed Stoyanoff and is run today by his son, Mark Stoyanoff, Rich Laneve, and Ed’s Grandson, Eric Stoyanoff. The Company operates two other branches in North Huntingdon, PA and Lexington, KY and currently employs a team of more than 80 people. Mark, Rich, and Eric will continue to lead EMSCO’s dedicated employee base under the existing brand, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers, and employees.
Matt McDermott, President of Heritage, commented, “EMSCO is one of the largest and most well-respected family businesses in the pool & spa industry and we are honored to welcome them as the newest member of the Heritage family. As we continue building out our footprint, we are truly excited to have Mark, Rich, Eric, and the rest of the EMSCO team combine forces with our existing Aqua-Gon and Quality Pool Supply branches across the Midwest region. This has been a foundational year of growth for the entire Heritage platform and we look forward to even greater things to come.”
Mark Stoyanoff, owner of EMSCO, commented, “We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with the Heritage family of companies. Gaining the support of a fast-growing national platform while being able to maintain our family business made this a sound decision. EMSCO and Heritage share the same philosophy of always putting people and customers first, which will allow us to preserve and build upon the trust and reputation we have earned over the past 50+ years. As we look ahead to the future of the industry and our family’s legacy, Heritage gives us the best opportunity for continued growth and success.”
