Mannheimer applauded today’s purchase “as a major event in our company’s 96-year history. As owners and managers of Blackman, we are now poised to implement changes that will allow us to experience exponential growth in the coming years.”

Blackman Plumbing opened its doors in Brooklyn in 1921 under the leadership of founder Sam Blackman. Richard Blackman followed his father into the family business, eventually becoming the company’s sole owner. He substantially grew the business, opening locations on Long Island, in New York City and New Jersey.

Richard Blackman died in September 2012, leaving the leadership to Mannheimer under whose guidance Blackman Plumbing continues to grow, most recently adding a state-of-the-art showroom in West Palm Beach, Fla.
