1st Source Servall, a family-owned and operated distributor of appliance parts, recently completed the remodeling of its 30,000 square foot facility at 16 Commercial Avenue in Colonie. The Detroit-based company began leasing the Colonie building, which is the company’s first distribution center in the Northeast, in late 2010.

One of the largest appliance parts distributors in the country has donated 30 new appliances to some Western New York organizations. 1st Source Servall provided 6 groups with refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, microwaves and dishwashers. The recipients of this donation are: Compass House, Faith Based Fellowship, Friends of Night People, Haven House, Teen Challenge of Western New York, and Vive La Casa.

In 1929, Gordon Adler embarked on an odyssey — starting a company that still exists today.Today, that company — 1st Source Servall — not only is still in business, it’s thriving.

The New York State Appellate Division, Fourth Department, recently granted 1^stSource Servall two key victories in its defense of a lawsuit brought by its chief competitor – Marcone APW, LLC.  By an Order dated March 10, 2011, the Appellate Court first granted a significant reversal of a February 8, 2011 decision by New York Supreme Court Justice John Michalek and then expedited the balance of Servall's appeal of the trial court's preliminary injunction against the company.  As a result, Servall is now free to sell its products to customers in the appliances industry despite Marcone's efforts to stop it from doing so.
