GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, January 9, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cameron Ashley Building Products, Inc. (“Cameron Ashley” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of Los Angeles-based private investment firm Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, LLC (“Pacific Avenue”), today announced the acquisition of J&R Products, a Bluffton, Indiana-based distributor of a vast selection of specialty accessory and small tool products such as hand tools, caulk, foam, weather stripping, PPE, tapes, vents, baffles, weather stripping and fastening systems that enhance the Company’s insulation accessory offering.
