The acquisition of Victor, N.Y.-based B&L, which provides capital equipment and materials to the electronics assembly industry, expands Houston-based Hisco’s reach into upstate New York.

The deal includes B&L’s 6,000-square-foot warehouse south of Rochester, N.Y.

“B&L Technologies provides their customers with engineered solutions supported by outstanding customer service. The parallels between our customer base, core product offering and value proposition made this a natural fit,” Hisco president Bob Dill said.

The Victor location will operate as a satellite division of Hisco’s New Jersey Branch office managed by Mr. Greg Smith.

Hisco is an employee-owned specialty distribution company serving the electronic assembly and industrial markets. The company also provides specialized warehousing for chemical management, cold storage and logistic services.
