Lord & Sons, Inc. and Carson Sales, Inc. today announced that the companies have completed their transaction in which Lord & Sons has acquired privately held Carson Sales, a leader in fastening and construction supplies in the desert Southwest.
Carson Sales, based in Glendale, Arizona with a second location in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a strategic addition to the Lord & Sons family of businesses. The acquisition will extend Lord & Sons distribution capabilities and increase the company's client base.
Lord & Sons will build upon Carson Sales customer and vendor relationships by maintaining its current business strategy.

In addition to its traditional brick and mortar locations, Carson Sales also operates CarsonSafety.com, an E-commerce site dedicated to construction site safety equipment and training.
"The addition of Carson Sales to the Lord & Sons family is truly exciting," said Robert Bullock, CEO and Co-President of Lord & Sons. "Carson Sales' talent, locations and inventory complement Lord & Sons' business and extend our ability to deliver the best products and services to our customers. This acquisition will continue to strengthen Lord & Sons as a leading provider of construction products and services."
"This is a big day for our company; we look forward to scaling our growth as part of Lord & Sons," said JV Carson, President and CEO of Carson Sales.
