Ky. Company Buying W. Va. Business
KENTUCKY....
A Kentucky-based company is set to acquire a longtime West Virginia business. Officials at Walker Machinery in Belle, West Virginia announced Monday (today) that, after 59 years, the Walker family has decided to sell the mine equipment business to Boyd Company, LLC of Louisville, Kentucky, the holding company of Whayne Supply Company, the Caterpillar dealer in southern Indiana and Kentucky. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year, but Boyd says it plans to operate Walker as it is, while keeping its name, and its headquarters will remain in Belle.
