FinishMaster Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uni-Select Inc., has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of A. D’Angelo & Sons Inc. and related entities (collectively “D’Angelos”). This acquisition significantly expands FinishMaster’s footprint in the state of California and in two major metropolitan markets in Las Vegas and Phoenix.
With the purchase of Acme Paint Co. in 1956, Arthur “Art” D’Angelo Sr. was determined to pursue the American dream. Acme Paint Co. later became “D’Angelos and Sons” in 1965. Over the past 60 years, the D’Angelos business has grown to 11 locations in California, including a warehouse, two locations in Nevada and one in Arizona. The business focus is in the automotive refinish segment, but they also have expertise in industrial coatings.
“D’Angelos’ success is the result of hard work and strong values, making them an example of the American dream originally pursued by its founders. The team has vast industry knowledge and a strong commitment to exceptional service. Combining our teams’ decades of real-world experience puts us in a unique position to support our customers and drive their success through the selection of great products, promise of great service and a commitment to partnership,” said Steve Arndt, president and chief operating officer of FinishMaster. “We are thrilled to welcome more than 125 team members to our FinishMaster family.”
“This acquisition, FinishMaster’s largest to date, strengthens our footprint on the West Coast, a key growth area for FinishMaster. We are extremely pleased to welcome the D’Angelos business and team members to our growing FinishMaster family,” said Henry Buckley, president and CEO of Uni-Select.
