B&D Sales and Service, which began as a laser welder and engraving equipment retailer, was established in 1984. It was acquired by Stuller Inc. in 2018 to expand its product line and services to better fit the needs of the customer, said the company.
“Ever since Stuller’s acquisition of B&D Sales and Service, we have been continuously encouraged by the positive impact of the capabilities in technical support and equipment repair,” said Taylor Burgess, chief customer officer at Stuller.
“This new space will continue to strengthen those capabilities and offers a space in the Northeast for our customers to learn and grow with us.”
The new B&D Headquarters is located at 55 Stamp Farm Road in Cranston, Rhode Island.
