Wynnchurch Capital has supported EMS in acquiring American Metals Supply, expanding the Florida-based aluminum distributor's market presence. EMS, headquartered in Lake Worth, Florida, specializes in aluminum product distribution and aims to strengthen its position through this strategic acquisition.

The move reflects consolidation within the metal distribution sector as private equity firms continue to target industrial businesses. American Metals Supply brings valuable assets and customer relationships to EMS, creating a more comprehensive service offering for industrial clients across the southeastern United States.

This acquisition demonstrates Wynnchurch's strategy to build platform companies in industrial distribution. By combining EMS with American Metals Supply, the private equity firm hopes to create a more competitive player in the regional aluminum distribution market, potentially leading to further expansion opportunities in the sector.
