Safway Steel Products last week announced the asset acquisition of its former distributor, Safway Scaffolds Equipment and Supply Co., based in San Antonio, from its owners John and Suzette Jordan.

Safway Scaffolds Equipment and Supply has been serving Texas contractors, primarily in San Antonio and Austin, since 1939. The Jordans will remain with the company for a transition period.

"This acquisition is consistent with our overall expansion strategy to have branch operations in every major market," said Safway chief operating officer Jerry Johns.

Safway now has 75 branches in North America, including six in Texas, where it also has facilities in Corpus Christi, Dallas, Lubbock and two in Houston.
