L&W Supply Corporation announced the acquisition of the assets of Acoustical Ceiling Supply Company (ACS) in Metairie, La. This marks the first acquisition by L&W Supply after being purchased by ABC Supply in November 2016. With this strategic acquisition, L&W Supply will now operate 137 branches across 35 states.
