SRS Distribution (“SRS” or “the Company”) announced today that it has acquired A-Plus Building Supply, an
independent distributor of roofing and related exterior building products servicing the Central and Southeast
Connecticut region from its location in North Haven, CT.
Founded in 2008, A-Plus Building Supply has developed a strong reputation for superior customer service and
SRS intends to immediately build upon the company’s reputation for further growth in the region. The location
will continue to carry a full line of roofing products and focus on servicing roofing contractors, remodeling
contractors, and home builders across Connecticut.
Darek Dabkowski, A-Plus’ owner, and his entire sales and operations team will be staying with the company,
which will ensure continuity and consistency for the customers, employees, and suppliers of A-Plus. A-Plus will
transition its operating name going forward to Heritage Wholesalers, which already operates nearby locations
in Hartford, CT, Worcester, MA, and Springfield, MA. Darek will report directly to Paul Whelan, SRS’ AVP for the
Northeast region.
Dan Tinker, President and COO of SRS Distribution, commented, "We are excited to have the extremely
dedicated and talented employees of A-Plus Building Supply join the SRS family. A-Plus is a company that was
built on local relationships and a fundamentally sound approach to customer service. It is an ideal addition to
SRS’ Northeast operation and highly complementary to our existing footprint in the region. We plan to expand
the business rapidly and invest heavily in Connecticut and surrounding markets in the future.”
Darek Dabkowski, owner of A-Plus Building Supply, added, “My team and I are excited to be joining the SRS
family. The resources that SRS brings to bear will only strengthen our ability to be a leader in our market. The
combination of these strategic resources and added capital will ensure that our clients receive the very best
products and services necessary for success in today’s competitive market. I’ve always said, ‘If our customers
are successful, we will be successful!’”
