New product lines, the purchase of a 16,000-plus square-foot distribution facility, seven new jobs, and the return of a well-known and highly-respected leader in the pipe, valve and fittings industry are just some of the advantages that came with Collins Pipe & Supply Company, Inc.’s recent acquisition of BurnsCascade Co., Inc., of Syracuse, NY.
For more than sixty years, BurnsCascade has been an industrial supplier of valves, controls and flow-control instrumentation. With the acquisition, Collins will expand their upstate New York product brand offering with the addition of Raychem (heat tracing systems), Anderson Greenwood Instrumentation (hand valves and manifolds), and Kunkle Valve (safety relief valves), primarily from Tyco Flow Control Group.
One of the largest industrial distributors of pipe, manual and automated valves, fittings, and other engineered specialties in the Northeast, Collins Pipe & Supply also supplies power plant and large construction projects across the globe. Five years ago, Collins expanded their valve automation and process control operations in upstate New York by partnering with Joseph A. Clemente, a resident of Orchard Park, NY, and opening Niagara Controls LLC in Buffalo to service the western region of the state.
