Western Excelsior Corp. to Acquire North American Green From Tensar International Corp.
Evansville, Indiana – March 23, 2017 – Two of the most prestigious names in erosion and sediment control have united in an effort to better serve the industry and provide engineered environmental stewardship with a commitment to quality and family values. Western Excelsior Corporation has entered into an agreement to acquire North American Green, effective March 31st, 2017. As of that date, Western Excelsior and North American Green will continue to conduct business as independent entities. However, by combining certain resources, both companies will have the opportunity to make process and product improvements as well as broaden their sales reach.
As a primary benefit of the acquisition, a greater geographic area in the Americas will have access to erosion control products as well as the expert knowledge and resources that both companies offer. While the two companies will continue to operate separately, they will collaborate to uphold a commitment to the industry’s best interests. More than ever, both companies will strive to build upon a foundation of honesty and core values that has driven Western Excelsior’s success for over 40 years.
