Transom Capital Group, a middle-market private equity firm, has acquired distributor Galleher LLC (Los Angeles) for an undisclosed amount.
Founded in 1937, Galleher has 36 locations in seven states and more than 400 employees in the Western United States; making it the largest floor covering distributor in the Western U.S. and the third largest flooring distributor in the U.S., the company says. Transom’s portfolio includes brands as varied as Bose Professional AV products, Halo and Aden + Anais infant sleep products and Beauty Quest Group hair care products.
Transom “will work closely with the existing management team to drive operational efficiency, expand market reach, and explore new product development opportunities,” according to a release, but Galleher will operate as an independent entity.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Galleher brands into the Transom Capital family," said Russ Roenick, Managing Partner at Transom, said in a statement. "We believe the residential and commercial flooring products space has significant opportunity for innovation, and Galleher supports virtually all of the leading brands in the space. We recognize the tremendous potential that the company holds, and we are committed to supporting its growth as a market leader in the premium flooring products segment. "
"Transom Capital's impressive track record and dedication to efficiency through technological enhancements align seamlessly with our vision for Galleher's future," said Ted Kozikowski, CEO of Galleher in a statement. "This strategic partnership will undoubtedly provide us with the resources and expertise needed to propel our company to new heights, allowing us to better serve our customers through cutting-edge technology and enhanced efficiency."
