International. B'laster Holdings has announced the acquisition of virtually all of the assets of Blumenthal Brands Integrated, LLC. Based in Indian Trail, North Carolina, BBI owns Gunk, Liquid Wrench and Titeseal.
"The acquisition of BBI strengthens our portfolio of dominant automotive brands in the aftermarket," said President and CEO Randy Pindor.
BBI's product lines include Gunk cleaners and degreasers, Liquid Wrench lubricants and penetrants, tire sealants and Titeseal protective coating, along with product lines developed under own brand.
These products are currently available at key national retailers, including Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes and more.
"This agreement will surely support our strategic evolution of B'laster Holdings," Pindor said.
"We plan to continue to focus on innovation while ensuring we get our consumers professional-grade products that work where others fail. In addition, the increased leverage and service capabilities of the addition of these new brands will continue to build on our foundation with all of our customers."
B'laster will continue to operate from its corporate headquarters in Valley View, OH. The company plans to add employees, new storage space and manufacturing equipment to support this acquisition.
"We are excited to welcome some new employees to our B'laster family both in our corporate office and across the country," added Pindor.
