Dayton, Ohio based Ritz Safety LLC, one of the largest privately-held safety companies in the U.S., continues to grow its national footprint with the acquisition of Public Works Supply Inc. in Donald, Oregon. Public Works Supply has served the Portland area for 25 years, and has come to be known as the regional leader in safety equipment and training. This marks the second strategic acquisition in the past year for Ritz Safety, after acquiring Mobile, Alabama based Safety Source Inc. in July of 2015. Ritz Safety has also grown organically, with new or expanded facilities in Tampa and Pompano Beach, Florida; Houston, Texas and Indianapolis, Indiana over the past two years.
Ritz Safety’s purchase of Public Works Supply will continue to position the combined organization as a local, regional, and national supplier to the industrial, agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing, service, waste, oil and gas, ship building, and other industries who are looking for assistance and consistency in keeping their employees safe. The acquisition brings the total number of Ritz Safety sales and distribution centers to nine.
