US: BFG Supply acquires distribution business of Central Garden

BFG Supply has acquired the independent garden center distribution business of Central Garden and Pet.

The independent garden center distribution portion of Central serves more than 4,000 customers across the United States, selling both Central and third-party vendor products across the nation. This acquisition strengthens the leading position of BFG in the independent lawn and garden distribution segment.

Headquartered in Burton, OH, BFG distributes a full line of products across complementary green industry segments, including professional horticulture, lawn & garden, hydroponic, and Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”). With over 25,000 SKUs in stock, the comprehensive product offering provides a differentiated, one-stop solution to customers.

The distribution business of Central will be integrated into BFG in the coming months. Prior to the completion of the integration, customers can continue to order products from Central as usual. BFG will provide more information regarding the transition to customers over the next several weeks
