American Equipment Holdings (“American Equipment”), a Rotunda Capital Partners portfolio company, has acquired Industrial Hoist & Crane (“Industrial Hoist”), a leading provider of overhead crane maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) field services headquartered in Rock Springs, Wyoming, with operations throughout the Intermountain West. The acquisition of Industrial Hoist marks the 12th add-on acquisition completed by American Equipment since partnering with Rotunda in May 2021.
For more than 20 years, Industrial Hoist has been providing comprehensive overhead crane and hoist field service solutions, including repairs, inspections, and replacement parts, to customers throughout the Western U.S. Over the years, Industrial Hoist established a reputation of integrity and customer service, which earned the company a strong reputation in the region and a deep pool of loyal, repeat customers. Industrial Hoist will be rebranded as American Equipment and will continue to serve new and existing customers with the same reliable and high-quality customer service that it has demonstrated over the years.
“This is an exciting day for all of us at Industrial Hoist & Crane,” said Donna Teeples, owner of Industrial Hoist. “The team at American Equipment is deeply committed to its products, its customers, and its employees and has clearly distinguished itself within the industry. We cannot wait to begin working together to deliver an unmatched experience for our customers and employees.”
“I have known Donna for many years and have always held her and her team at Industrial Hoist in the highest regard,” said American Equipment CEO Adam Zimmerman. “I am thrilled that we can now bring our two organizations together and offer our customers more robust and comprehensive offerings and capabilities.”
