Cranbury, N.J. — Hardware Holdings, LLC, a leading omni-channel distributor of home and hardware products, has acquired the Jones Stephens Corporation. Jones Stephens is a leading distributor of plumbing specialty products, based in Moody, Alabama.
Under the Hardware Holdings umbrella, Jones Stephens joins Cranbury, NJ based HBC Home & Hardware Products, a leading distributor of quality products in the home environment, plumbing, paint sundries, security hardware, hardware and housewares categories and Houston, TX based hardware wholesale distributor, Handy Hardware. Jones Stephens will continue to operate out of the current Moody, AL and Pottsville, PA facilities, and the management team will remain in place.
