Galls, LLC, a full service marketer and distributor of public safety, first responder and private security products, announced today that it has merged with Cerritos, California based Quartermaster, Inc. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Galls was acquired by New York-based private equity firm CI Capital Partners in September, 2011, as a platform investment in the public safety products market. For over 37 years, Quartermaster has been a leading national multi-channel specialty distributor of public safety products. Its "head to toe" uniform and equipment solutions include duty gear, uniforms, casual duty and tactical apparel, footwear, and accessories. Quartermaster serves approximately 100,000 customers nationally ranging from private security, to federal, state and local law enforcement, to the U.S. Military. Quartermaster markets its products through a multi-channel selling strategy which includes dedicated salespeople, a highly efficient e-commerce platform, well-known seasonal product catalogs and four retail service center locations. Bob San Julian, Chief Executive Officer of Galls said, "We are very excited to announce the merger of these two industry leaders. Quartermaster's large customer base will benefit from Galls' broad product offering, high level of customer service, and East Coast distribution capabilities. In turn, Quartermaster's highly recognizable private label brand, long-standing relationships with key suppliers, and established West Coast distribution presence will be instrumental as we compete for customers in the public safety products sector."
