Trowel Trades Supply
Founded in 1968, Trowel Trades serves residential and commercial customers in the greater Burlington, Vermont metro area and related surrounding markets. Trowel Trades offers a full complement of interior building materials as well as masonry and hardscape products. The acquisition of Trowel Trades represents GMS's entrance into Vermont, expanding its coverage in the U.S. to 44 states. The acquisition also follows recent greenfield expansions in Portland, Maine and Manchester, New Hampshire, reflecting the long-term strategic importance of the New England market. Trowel Trades will join GMS subsidiary New England Gypsum Supply, Inc. ("New England Gypsum Supply") and its seven existing branch locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire. The Trowel brand, which has served the Burlington market for over 50 years, will be retained at the Colchester, Vermont location while New England Gypsum Supply locations will continue to operate under their current branding.
