By Home Furnishings Business in on April 5, 2011 National in-home delivery firm HEP Direct has acquired Executive Delivery Service of Thomasville, N.C.

Keith Hewitt, HEP Direct president and CEO, said the company€™s U.S.A. market share has grown in the home delivery business because of the acquisition.

"We saw an opportunity to grow our market share in the U.S. furniture home delivery and logistics sector," Hewitt said. €œOur research revealed there are not a lot of asset-based, nationally focused, in-home furniture delivery providers to choose from in the market. We decided to acquire Executive Delivery Service which allows us to add trucks and personnel to Hep Direct to better serve our clients."

Executive Delivery Service was founded in 1979 and has a similar operating model as HEP Direct. The companies service manufacturers, retailers and designers.

HEP Direct also provides other services including, warehousing, deluxing, blanket wrap, and furniture touch up for its clients.
