HOUSTON (July 28, 2015) – Major Incorporated, a U.S. Northeast-based distributor of pipe, valves, fittings, and actuation solutions, has been acquired by Shale-Inland from Platform Management. An integrator, distributor, supply house and valve automation provider primarily focused on the power industry, Major Incorporated was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in New Jersey. The company had been a part of the Platform Management family since Oct. 1, 2013 but has been involved with the Platform executive team for over a decade. Major has relationships with a broad network of top tier manufacturers, more than 200 in the power industry alone. Shale-Inland is a supplier of pipe, valves, and fittings and is also a provider of technical solutions to its customers in the energy and industrial sectors. Shale-Inland’s portfolio of companies includes CF Fluids, Flomax, J&J Alloys, J&J Bar Plus, MultAlloy, Polar Pipe, PVF Florida, Southwest Stainless, Stainless Tubular Products and Sunbelt Supply. “We are very excited about becoming a part of the Shale-Inland family of companies and all of the certain opportunities for growth which that presents,” said Major Inc. President Dave Kuhn. “We would like to thank Ionel Nechiti and the ownership group of Platform Management for their strong commitment and experienced stewardship.” With Shale-Inland’s experience in the oil and gas and petrochemical industries, this is an opportunity for Major Inc. to expand into different markets. “Shale-Inland’s breadth of valve and automation companies dovetail very well with Major Inc.’s supply chain management abilities,” Kuhn said.
