“I knew
the president of UIG in Houston, so this acquisition
started out as a conversation between us.
Then we brought in the corporate development
team to analyze the opportunity. Once we decided
to go ahead, we crunched the numbers, decided
how much to pay, and took it to the Board.
We acquired 10 branches in Florida and Georgia
and four more in California. The biggest challenge
is to continue to focus on your existing business
while completing the acquisition. What works
well, and why Airgas is so successful, is
the dedicated corporate support we receive,
so I can focus on employees and customers.” |
