Blue Thumb Distributing, headquartered in Saginaw, Mich., acquired Aqua Bella Designs, a Harpers Ferry, W.Va.-based fountain manufacturer.
“The synergies between the two long-time leaders in the industry open a wide range of new possibilities for the growth of Blue Thumb and offers our customer base a larger, more diversified product offering,” said Kip Northrup, president of Blue Thumb. “Our seasoned team at Blue Thumb, combined with years of market experience, translate to a better customer experience, stronger product offerings and increased quality, and we are very excited about that.”
Olga Sokolova, of Aqua Bella, added: “We are thrilled with Blue Thumb acquiring the Aqua Bella brand. We see endless possibilities to the market potential that now exists for our product lines. More importantly we believe we will be able to service our customers better with a stronger infrastructure and forward-thinking management that Blue Thumb provides.”
Blue Thumb is in the process of moving all inventories from Aqua Bella to its main shipping warehouse in Saginaw.
