ATLANTA, Ga. Genuine Parts Co. has announced an acquisition for its Office Products Group.
S. P. Richards Company, the company’s Office Products Group, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Impact Products LLC. The transaction is expected to commence on July 1, and is contingent upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.
Impact Products, headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, is a leading value-added provider of facility, janitorial and safety supplies serving North America. Its broad customer base is served from distribution centers in Toledo and Walnut, Calif. The company expects the acquired business to generate approximately $85 million in annual revenues.

Richards’ product offering and is complementary to our Garland C. Norris acquisition completed earlier in the year. We are pleased to welcome this fine organization to the S. P. Richards and GPC family. We look forward to the many contributions the Impact team will make in the years ahead."
