SWEDESBORO, NEW JERSEY –
North America’s largest pure-play distributor of scientific and controlled environment products, Thomas Scientific, has completed the acquisition of Massachusetts-based cleanroom, safety, and industrial products provider Day Associates, Inc. Finalized August 2, 2023, the transaction immediately expands Thomas Scientific’s national footprint, while enhancing its ability to provide products and services to companies in advanced technology and industrial segments with controlled and industrial environments.

The addition of the Dracut, MA facility increases Thomas’ footprint of distribution centers in the Northeast, furthering the ability to assist cleanroom production customers in these critical markets.

Thomas Scientific’s CEO, Stan Haas, stated, “We at Thomas Scientific are very proud to partner with an industry veteran in Billy Day and his entire team. Billy has built a business over the past 45 years founded on providing personalized service and many great product brands to meet the stringent needs of their customers. By Day Associates joining the Thomas Scientific family of companies, the customers will have access to an even broader portfolio of products and a national network of distribution centers and inventory to meet their needs now and into the future.”

The Day Associates, Inc team has been led by Billy Day, who founded Day Associates in February 1977 in Dracut, MA. Day Associates continues to grow through the hard work of a dedicated team of ten employees, most of whom have been with the company for many years.

Billy Day, founder and owner of Day Associates stated, “We at Day Associates look forward to joining the Thomas Scientific team. Together, our combined resources and energies will create a stronger full-service cleanroom supply chain that will be unmatched in service, selection and quality. We are grateful to our customers. Thank you for your business. We look forward to your continued support. During this transition and into the future, the Day Associates employees you have come to know will continue to provide you with the same great service that you have come to expect.”

The primary product categories offered by Day Associates, Inc include gloves, apparel, wipers, tacky mats, masks & veils, cleanroom bags & paper, and safety products. Day has provided cleanroom, safety, and industrial products to support diverse customer segments that produce products within critical environments.

Thomas Scientific has made five previous acquisitions since late 2017, adding eight inventory stocking locations, numerous new product lines, and teams of subject matter experts. The experience and learnings the team has gained from these very strategic acquisitions have not only substantially improved the overall capabilities to serve our customers, but to continue to add talented individuals that align with Thomas Scientific’s strong culture and core values.

“I'm thrilled to welcome Day Associate's valued customers, suppliers, and experienced associates to the Thomas Scientific Controlled Environments (CE) team!
