Two Connecticut family businesses. One seamless transition.
When Torrco needed to move fast, they needed a partner they could trust.
Torrco is no small operation. As a fourth-generation, family-owned wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, piping, and HVAC products, they run 12 branches and 6 design centers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. As Torrco works toward opening a permanent new distribution center in 2027, they needed to relocate their Waterbury satellite operation in the interim — and find a partner with proven warehouse relocation expertise to execute the move quickly, cleanly, and within budget.
That partner was Meyer.
Two Family Businesses, One Shared Network
The connection between Torrco and Meyer runs deeper than a simple vendor relationship. Both companies are members of the Affinity Captive, a network built on shared values and trusted partnerships. When Torrco began evaluating options for their warehouse relocation — a project involving more than 2,000 pallets — it made sense to look within that network first.
“When we went to look for a partner to move us from one facility to another, it made sense to align with Meyer,” said Torrco’s President, Chris Fasano. “Meyer is a member of the Affinity Captive, and so are we.”
But shared membership alone doesn’t earn a contract of this scale. Trust has to be established.
The Meeting That Made the Decision Easy
After sitting down with Mike Humen from the Meyer team, Fasano knew Torrco had found the right partner. Meyer’s comprehensive move project management approach gave Torrco a clear picture of how the relocation would be planned, coordinated, and executed — and instilled the confidence that the team could deliver on both timeline and budget.
“When it comes to a project like ours, we needed more than a moving company, we needed a partner who could deliver a solution, one with the capabilities to execute within our timeframe and within the project’s budget,” said Fasano.
“A project like Torrco’s requires more than trucks and manpower — it takes detailed planning, clear communication, and the experience to anticipate what can go wrong before it does. Our team had handled countless relocations of this scale before, and we knew exactly how to approach it. But what made this especially rewarding was doing it for a fellow Connecticut family business. When you share the same values around hard work and doing right by your customers, it makes for a natural partnership,” said Ted Kennedy, Meyer’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
2,000+ Pallets. Zero Surprises.
With the plan in place, Meyer got to work. The result was exactly what Torrco needed: a smooth, efficient relocation executed on time and under budget — no small feat for a move of this magnitude during a transitional period for the business.
For a company temporarily between facilities while their permanent distribution center is being developed, certainty and reliability weren’t just nice to have. They were essential.
Meyer delivered both.
A Partnership That Will Continue
For Torrco, this project wasn’t just a one-time job. It reinforced a relationship they plan to build on.
“Moving forward, we will definitely look to partner with Meyer again,” said Fasano.
That kind of trust — earned through performance and shared values — is exactly what Meyer brings to every project. From family-owned businesses to large-scale commercial operations, we’re built to handle the moves that matter most.
