Acquisitions are an important component of Heritage’s growth strategy and Heritage was formed to celebrate and preserve the legacy of its acquired businesses. To achieve and maintain our goal to be the fastest growing company in the industry, we focus both on organic growth that is fueled through product expansion, sales force expansion, and the opening of new locations, as well as growth through strategic acquisitions.
To achieve this, it is imperative that we develop a continuous pipeline of the highest quality independent pool & spa supply distributors looking to join the Heritage family of companies. We strive to be the preferred home for Owners in the industry looking for an alternative succession plan, providing the opportunity to partner with a company that prides itself on being a good steward of the employees and customers after the sale.
