HOUSTON, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ACR Group, Inc. (AMEX:BRR), a leading national wholesale distributor of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment and supplies, today announced it has increased its revolving credit facility from $40 million to $45 million. The Company's collateral base is sufficient for the entire $45 million to be available to the Company. Houston-based ACR Group said the revolving credit facility expansion increases working capital for operational purposes, and provides additional resources for potential branch expansion and acquisitions. The credit facility is through Wells Fargo Bank. "Our record of strong revenue growth and sustained profitability has allowed us increased access to capital during the past year," said Alex Trevino, Jr., President and CEO of ACR Group. "As we evaluate the current competitive landscape, we remain opportunistic acquirers of appropriately priced HVAC distributorships operated by experienced management teams, in line with our decentralized operating model. "By combining our 'buy and build' approach with our strategic investment in new, organic growth initiatives, as illustrated by our recent entrance into the Arizona market, we are well positioned to grow our regional footprint in key geographies throughout the country. This additional financing capacity provides us an added level of flexibility to pursue these growth opportunities." About ACR Group, Inc.
