Heritage Landscape Supply Group acquired Imperial Sprinkler Supply (ISS), an independently-owned distributor of irrigation, outdoor lighting, and other landscape products.
“We are honored to welcome the entire ISS team to the Heritage family. ISS is one of the largest and most respected independents in the country and has earned a reputation as the preeminent distributor in California,” Matt McDermoot, president of Heritage, said in a prepared statement. “We are truly excited for this game-changing and strategic acquisition to our growing network and look forward to seeing what our combined teams will accomplish together.”
Placenta, Calif.-based ISS was founded in 1980 by Gabriel and Dolores Moriel. The company operates a network of 25 branches across California, servicing professional irrigation and landscape contractors, municipalities, golf course superintendents, and other green industry professionals. The Moriel family and the company’s sales and operations team will stay with ISS post-acquisition to run the business, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers, and employees.
“Our family has spent decades building a business predicated on providing top-quality products and unparalleled customer service throughout California. After over 40 years in business, we were very fortunate to find a partner in Heritage that would be a trusting steward of our company’s legacy and treat our people like family,” Darlene Hunn, CEO of ISS, said. “It is with great excitement that we kick off this next phase of growth for ISS, providing our amazing team with resources they need to take the company to new heights. Together, we will support an enduring commitment to our customer and supplier partners, while continuing to empower the hard-working employees that make it all possible.”
