Swedesboro-based Thomas Scientific on Friday said it completed the acquisition of Massachusetts-based cleanroom, safety and industrial products provider Day Associates.
The transaction, which was finalized Wednesday, immediately expands Thomas Scientific’s national footprint, while enhancing its ability to provide products and services to companies in advanced technology and industrial segments with controlled and industrial environments.
Thomas Scientific has made six previous acquisitions since late 2017, adding eight inventory stocking locations, numerous new product lines and teams of subject matter experts. Just recently it completed the acquisition of another Massachusetts-based firm Quintana Supply.
