JM Lapp, a prominent locally owned plumbing, heating, and cooling company, has announced the acquisition of Haldeman Mechanical, Inc., a well-established family business that has served the Manheim area for 86 years. This strategic acquisition underscores JM Lapp’s commitment to not only expanding its operational footprint in Lancaster County but also preserving the time-honored legacy that Haldeman Mechanical represents.

“This acquisition is centered on more than merely expanding our market share; it signifies our dedication to maintaining a tradition of quality craftsmanship and community service,” stated Matt Lapp, Founder and CEO of JM Lapp. He emphasized that Haldeman Mechanical has been a trusted name for nearly nine decades, earning the confidence of both families and businesses in Manheim. “We are honored to build upon this foundational legacy while ensuring continued excellence in service delivery,” he added.

Ilya Tlumach, President of JM Lapp, highlighted the importance of continuity in service during this transition. “We are honored to carry on the legacy of Haldeman while also looking forward to the future,” Tlumach said. Bob Wiley will take charge of the Manheim Haldeman team, ensuring a seamless experience for customers. “Kenny, Manheim’s trusted plumber for over 50 years, will also remain with us, contributing his extensive expertise and community ties. His involvement is crucial in nurturing the next generation of service technicians, thus preserving the values that have defined Haldeman Mechanical’s reputation.”

The acquisition not only extends JM Lapp’s service area but also enhances its capability to provide comprehensive plumbing, heating, and cooling solutions for residential and light commercial clients across Lancaster County. Operating from newly acquired locations in both New Holland and Manheim, JM Lapp aims for quicker responsiveness and improved customer support throughout the area.

In line with this transition, JM Lapp intends to retain the skilled workforce of Haldeman Mechanical while also implementing new technologies and systems designed to enhance customer interactions. This includes innovative service solutions and preventative maintenance programs aimed at improving overall customer satisfaction.

Founded in 2006 and based in New Holland, PA, JM Lapp is dedicated to delivering exceptional mechanical services with a focus on customer care, community involvement, and skilled craftsmanship.
