EBS Inc. acquires building supplier

Ellsworth Builders Supply Inc. has purchased E.C. Hart and Son Inc., a hardware and building supply company with branches in Camden, Rockland and Warren.

John Hart, owner of E.C. Hart, will become a vice president of EBS, serve on the company’s operating committee, and will be responsible for all the company’s operations south and west of Belfast.

The enlarged EBS will span more than half the length of the coast of Maine. It will have 11 branches, the three acquired from Hart and its existing branches in Calais, Machias, Cherryfield, Mount Desert, Ellsworth, Blue Hill, Bucksport and Belfast.

EBS is a subsidiary of Ellsworth Falls Lumber Company Inc. It was acquired by Austin and Louisa Goodyear when they moved to their summer home in Brooklin in 1970. Austin Goodyear had been senior vice president of Litton Industries. Louisa Goodyear was active in the company until her death in 1992. EBS is now owned by Austin Goodyear and his son Thomas.
