ID posted an even 20 news items about M&A activity in January. This is by no means a complete list of every M&A deal announced in the industrial supply space in January. Despite our best efforts, there’s always deals announced that either wasn’t on our radar, or that weren’t made public. But, this list should provide a good idea of most M&A activity applicable to the industrial supply market.
