Meritus Gas Partners Expands Into Dallas With Metroplex Acquisition

Founded in 1975 by Mike Bush Sr., Metroplex has cemented its reputation as a cornerstone supplier for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The business currently operates under the guidance of Mike Bush Jr., Tom Bush, and General Manager Jack Robbins. Under the terms of the acquisition, the company will maintain its established name and leadership team, adhering to the Meritus strategy of preserving the local identity of its partners.

Rob D'Alessandro, President and COO of Meritus, noted that the move is a tactical expansion into one of the country's premier industrial hubs. For Metroplex, the partnership offers a pathway to scale while maintaining the operational autonomy that defined their five-decade tenure. Meritus, a portfolio company of AEA Investors, continues to assemble its national network by inviting owners to retain equity and remain entrepreneurial within the larger holding company structure.
