“This is a great opportunity for us, our new team members and our valued customers,” the company said in recent communications to its partners. “During Lester’s more than 60 years as a manufacturers’ representative, many things have changed, but our greatest strength has always been our people. With these acquisitions, our team has become even stronger.”
