SouthernCarlson, a distributor of fasteners, tools and construction supplies, has acquired Greenwald Supply Direct, based in Hyattsville, Md.

Truelink Capital, which acquired SouthernCarlson from Kyocera late in 2025, says the deal for Greenwald strengthens SouthernCarlson's position across the Mid-Atlantic region and commercial end-markets. And it's not stopping there, apparently.

Todd Golditch, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Truelink Capital, said: "We are excited to turn the M&A engine back on for SouthernCarlson, and expect this to be just the beginning as we continue to support SouthernCarlson's M&A strategy of partnering with other great businesses."

Greenwald Supply Direct is a specialty distributor of building products serving commercial contractors across the Mid-Atlantic region. Through this partnership with SouthernCarlson, Truelink says Greenwald Supply Direct will benefit from expanded product offerings, enhanced supply chain capabilities and access to a national distribution network.

"We're excited to welcome Greenwald Supply Direct to the SouthernCarlson family," said Andrei Militaru, President and CEO of SouthernCarlson. "GSD's reputation for first-class service and deep customer relationships fits perfectly with our culture. Together, we'll strengthen the support we provide contractors across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond."

"We are thrilled with this acquisition by SouthernCarlson," said David Greenwald, Founder and CEO of Greenwald Supply Direct. "Our team has been proud to serve contractors throughout the Mid-Atlantic for decades, and with this partnership, we are excited to offer them enhanced access to additional product breadth, jobsite solutions, and service capabilities. From our standpoint, this is a win-win."

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Greenwald Supply Direct will continue to operate under its existing name in its current location.
