Burton-based BFG Supply has acquired VG Supply, a distributor of lawn and garden and outdoor living supplies to customers in the upper Midwest.

The acquisition adds to BFG's presence in the Midwest and will extend the company's relationships in key customer segments.

"We were looking for a partner that shared our values, our commitment to great customer service, and could bring something new to our customers. We've known the BFG team for many years and we're excited to now be part of the BFG family," Ken Kotas, President of VG Supply, said in a statement.

VG's Munster, Indiana, distribution center will remain open, and customers will continue to be serviced from that location. "Ken and his team have built a great business and we're thrilled that we could make this transition happen so that we can grow together," BFG CEO Jeff King said.
