US: Distribution International Inc (DI), a leading distributor and fabricator in the mechanical insulation market, has acquired Selle Supply Company and sister company PBI Supply Inc, full-line distributors of insulation products and related construction materials, that specialises in the lamination of fiberglass insulation for metal buildings. Founded in El Paso, Texas, Selle and PBI Supply comprise the largest regional metal building insulation fabricator / distributor in the US.

"We at DI are eager to enter the metal building insulation market. During our strategic assessment of the metal building lamination space, our market research indicated that Selle and PBI are ranked highly for customer service and delivery performance, making the company an ideal platform from which to grow our national footprint. This acquisition is a significant milestone in the growth of our company and we look forward to being part of the metal building insulation industry and bringing the successful team from Selle / PBI into DI," said Celeste Mastin, CEO of Distribution International.

"DI's resources will enable us to expand our position in the industry, both improving our reach to new regional customers while better serving larger customers that have called upon us to supply them outside of our traditional footprint. Our philosophical alignment with DI makes us confident that we can do that while continuing our commitment to deliver the high quality products and services our customers have come to expect from us. We are excited for this partnership and we are proud to be part of DI's expansion into the metal building insulation market," said David Dzina, President and Co-Owner of Selle and PBI and former President of the National Insulation Association.
