Mergers & Acquisitions
The deal marks DXP’s fourth acquisition announced in 2026 and continues its buildout of a national water and wastewater platform.
Houston-based pumping solutions and MRO supplies distributor DXP Enterprises announced June 17 that it has completed the acquisition of General Repair Service — a Vadnais Heights, MN-based provider of pumps, blowers and related process equipment.
Founded in 1955, General Repair operates from one location and serves customers across the greater Minnesota market and surrounding areas. The company focuses on the water and wastewater and industrial markets, adding service and repair capabilities to DXP’s water platform.
DXP funded the acquisition with cash from its balance sheet. The company said General Repair had approximately $12.2 million in sales and $1.6 million in adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31.
“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of General Repair and welcome the employees to the DXP team,” DXP Chairman and CEO David Little said in the company’s announcement. “General Repair adds another great company to our water and wastewater platform that includes the many pieces we look for when acquiring a water business.”
DXP CFO Kent Yee added that the acquisition “furthers our mission to build DXP Water into a full-line product and service-focused platform.”
On MDM’s 2026 Top Distributors Lists, DXP was No. 16 for Industrial Supplies, No. 13 for Industrial MRO, No. 8 for Power Transmission/Bearings and No. 4 for Fluid Power.
The deal marks DXP’s fourth acquisition of 2026. In January, DXP completed the acquisitions of Tulsa, OK-based PREMIERflow and Washington Court House, OH-based Mid Atlantic Storage Systems, which together added more than $110 million in revenue and 185 employees. In February, DXP inked a deal to acquire Sheridan, CO-based manufacturer’s representative Ambiente H2O, which specializes in pumps, process equipment and instrumentation for the water and wastewater industry.
DXP’s 2026 acquisition activity follows a busy late-2025 run. The company completed six acquisitions during 4Q25 and closed three more by late February.
DXP reported 1Q26 sales of $522 million, up 9.5% year-over-year, with organic sales up 8.0%. Acquisitions contributed $41 million in the quarter. The company’s Innovative Pumping Solutions segment had 1Q sales of $119 million, up 37.7% year-over-year, with an 18.3% operating margin.
For full-year 2025, DXP reported sales of $2.02 billion, up 11.9% from 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $225 million on an 11.2% margin.
