Argan, Inc. Completes Acquisition of The Roberts Company
Rockville, Md. -
Argan, Inc.
(NYSE: AGX) ("Argan") today
announced the acquisition of TRC Acquisition LLC, which owns 100% of The Roberts Company ("Roberts"), a fully integrated fabrication, construction and plant services company. The purchase price of the acquisition is $500,000 in addition to the assumption of approximately $17 million in debt obligations, which Argan expects to retire within the month.
Rainer Bosselmann, Chairman and CEO of Argan, stated, "With substantial revenue and the reengagement and leadership of founder John Roberts, we believe the acquisition of Roberts enhances and diversifies our portfolio of companies".
Founded in 1977 and headquartered near Greenville, North Carolina, Roberts is designed to work specifically with heavy and light industrial clients. Its fabrication services offer unlimited steel plate fabrication specializing in custom complex ASME code pressure vessels and heat exchangers. In addition, Roberts provides a full service project solutions group for grass roots projects, as well as a plant services group to handle maintenance turnarounds, shutdowns and emergency mobilizations. Roberts will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Argan.
