CORONA, Calif.—North American Pet Products has acquired the assets of Cerritos, Calif.-based CASCO Group Inc., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of retail acrylic aquariums and commercial pet systems. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Teams from the two companies reacted immediately to ensure a seamless customer experience. The combined company now operates a 24/7 customer service support line for all commercial equipment. The expanded arrangement will continue to deliver enhanced habitat solutions to large and small companies that accelerate profitable growth through ingenuity, superior environments, and veterinarian approved designs.
