SGD Inc., a single source wholesale supplier of specialty gas equipment, has acquired Special Gas Supplies LLC, a supplier to compressed gas cylinder fillers of shrink wrap, tamper-proof seals, status tags, cylinder collars, rings and netting, lecture bottles, valves and more.

Special Gas Supplies, which previously operated out of Bahama, NC will now be operating out of SGD's facility in Emerson, NJ.

According to Frank Scornavacca, President, "The addition of Special Gas Supplies to SGD is a natural extension of our relationship with compressed cylinder gas fillers to expand our offerings to better serve them. Of course the users can expect the same great customer and delivery service and unique support program that they have become accustomed to with SGD. With one phone call, fax or email, the customer can not only purchase his gas equipment, but also their operational supply needs."

Scornavacca says "Supplies" will be operated as a division of SGD Inc., but customers may either place combined product orders with SGD or separate "Supplies" orders, whichever is more convenient for their operation.

The "Supplies" division will be directed by Scott Varian, VP - Operations.

"This is our first acquisition, but certainly not our last one," said Scornavacca. "We are looking at other acquisition possibilities to broaden our offerings to our customers."
