Valmont Industries, Inc. ( VMI - Analyst Report ) has acquired Australia-based Locker Group Holdings Pty Ltd for an undisclosed price. Market leader in Australia and Asia, Locker Group has annual sales of nearly $80 million and possesses five manufacturing locations across the region. Valmont anticipates the buyout be to slightly accretive to its 2013 earnings after considering the transaction costs.
Locker Group, a privately held company, manufactures perforated and expanded metal for the non-residential market, industrial flooring and handrails for the access systems market, and screening media for applications in the industrial and mining sectors.
The acquisition strengthens Valmont’s position in the access systems market and also provides exposure in the perforated and expanded metal products markets. Valmont intends to leverage Locker Group’s product and marketing teams for expanding further in the Asia-Pacific region.
Valmont, In Jan 2013, also acquired certain assets of Ontario, Canada-based Pure Metal Galvanizing. Pure Metal, which has annual sales of roughly CAD$34 million ($34.4 million), is a market leader in custom hot dip galvanizing in Canada. It operates five kettles out of three locations in Ontario. The terms of the buyout were not disclosed.
