The proceeds will be redeployed into our core businesses.Speaking for the plumbers, Rick Treml, president of Delcard, said ``We are glad we had the opportunity to purchase our businesses back. We are especially proud to be able to call ourselves by our former names that had established such good will throughout the industry prior to being acquired byConectiv.Financial details of the transactions were not disclosed.
