Parts Town in Addison acquires 3Wire Group

Parts Town, a food service parts distribution firm in Addison, has acquired the food service parts distribution and field service business assets of 3Wire Group, a Marmon company.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

These 3Wire businesses primarily distribute food service equipment parts, bringing unique value-added solutions to major chains and food equipment service companies. The origins of 3Wire's food service parts distribution date back to independently owned industry pioneers Northern Parts, Pacific Coast Parts, and Restaurant Appliance Service, who came together under the 3Wire brand as part of IMI Cornelius, prior to becoming part of Marmon in 2014. 3Wire's beverage parts distribution division and technical service support team will remain part of Marmon, will be re-branded, and will be the subject of a future announcement from Marmon.

"This acquisition will further strengthen the differentiated value we bring to both our manufacturer and customer partners," said Steve Snower, CEO of PT Holdings, parent company of Parts Town. "3Wire has built an excellent team, a strong brand and very solid major account partnerships, along with innovative technology. We are really excited to welcome the 3Wire team to Parts Town and to build on the legacy of such a great organization."

Following the transaction, General Manager Jeff Audette, will continue to lead the 3Wire food service parts distribution team as part of Parts Town. General Manager Tom McPeters, will continue to lead the 3Wire field service team.

"Jeff and Tom are proven industry leaders and have built outstanding teams," Snower said. "We are excited to take the best of Parts Town and 3Wire, and create something truly special in the food service equipment parts space to strengthen our manufacturer and customer partnerships."

The 3Wire brand will continue as part of Parts Town, with the businesses coming closer together in the coming months.
