Simpson Strong-Tie acquiring PIERESEARCH
Simpson Strong-Tie announced that it has acquired certain assets of Arlington, Texas-based PIERESEARCH, LLP.
Established in 1986, and acquired by the late Stan Agee and his wife Jan in 2005, PIERESEARCH offers a range of tested products for the deep foundation and earth retention industries, Simpson Strong-Tie said.
The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
According to Simpson Strong-Tie, based in Pleasanton, Calif., PIERSEARCH is an industry leader in rebar reinforcing alignment products, specializing in durable, tested, non-corrosive plastic rebar reinforcing alignment, along with centralizer products for drilled shafts, soil nails, and rebar-reinforced earth retention anchors.
“This acquisition enables Simpson Strong-Tie to expand our offering of concrete products in the commercial market,” said Simpson Strong-Tie Vice President of Strategic Market Development, Ryan Kaelin. “By combining PIERESEARCH’s quality products with the strength of Simpson Strong-Tie sales, field support and distribution network, we’re creating even greater value for concrete construction professionals."
As part of the acquisition, Greg Belt from PIERESEARCH will remain with Simpson Strong-Tie to ensure a seamless transition as Simpson Strong-Tie assumes customer sales, service, and distribution.
Simpson Strong-Tie is a global leader in providing structural solutions, including products and technology that assist in designing and building safer, stronger homes, buildings, and communities.
