HOUSTON — Singer Equities, Inc. has acquired Foster Hose and Fittings, headquartered in St. Louis, MO. The business was founded in 1928 and has been owned by Todd Sacco, Dale Schwartz and Rick Freeman since 2007. Todd Sacco, who has been active in the business, will remain as Sales and Marketing Manager and the business will continue operating under the Foster Hose and Fittings name.

"Singer provides the best cultural fit for Foster’s employees, customers and growth strategies," Sacco said on behalf of Foster Hose and Fittings. "We will continue to market our products and services under the Foster Hose and Fittings name and will strengthen our hose business through collaboration with the other Singer companies."
