Lester Sales Co., Indianapolis, IN, has expanded into western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. April 1 marked the completion of the acquisitions of Cardel-Criste and certain assets of Paolicelli/One Source Associates’ Western PA/West Virginia operations.
These two strategic acquisitions will serve Lester’s long-term plan for progressive growth into the contiguous NEMRA territories. With these additions, the company now serves key partners in nine Midwestern states. “This is a great opportunity for us, our new team members and our valued customers,” the company said in recent communications to its partners. “During Lester’s more than 60 years as a manufacturer’s representative many things have changed, but our greatest strength has always been our people. With these acquisitions, our team has become even stronger.”
