BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Turner Supply, a leading industrial supply distributor, on Thursday announced the acquisition of Alabama Industrial Distributors, a distributor based in Oxford, Alabama, serving industrial, construction, institutional and government markets. 

The acquisition strengthens Turner Supply’s presence in eastern Alabama while aligning with the shared products, services and core values of Alabama Industrial Distributors. Industrial customers will have access to additional maintenance, repair, operations and production brands, along with a broader selection of product categories and value-added services such as e-commerce, vending and kitting.
