Those two firms have been sold back to their original owners.During its rush to build its Conectiv Services unit into a full-service heating and cooling business, the utility also acquired another 19 firms. The announcement did not say what would happen to them.Howard E. Cosgrove, Conectivs chief executive, said We believe that the original owners were logical buyers, given their involvement, experience and knowledge of the customers and the employees. 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.
