New Partnership Forged By Florida, Indiana Dealers

Posted in

Foodservice equipment dealer Johnson-Lancaster and Associates, headquartered in Clearwater, Fla., has partnered with Indianapolis-based Schert Foodservice Equipment to form Lancaster-Schert Equipment, LLC. This strategic partnership, announced December 1, will expand Johnson-Lancaster’s presence in the Midwest; the dealership, founded in 1980, already has regional offices in Maryland and Ohio.

The deal will boost Schert’s buying power and capital. The four- year-old firm will continue to manage inventory and service equipment for its K-12 school customers; equipment sales now will go through the newly formed LLC.

Johnson-Lancaster Owner Brad Lancaster will take on a board member role in the newly formed company; Adam Schut will serve as president of Schert and Lancaster-Schert.
