One Equity Partners Completes Acquisition of Ballymore Safety Products

Opportunity to Accelerate the Development and Delivery of Innovative Worker Safety and Productivity Solutions

One Equity Partners (“OEP”), a middle market private equity firm, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Ballymore Safety Products (“Ballymore” or “the Company”), a leading designer, distributor, assembler and manufacturer of engineered lifting, material handling, and safety related products that facilitate the movement of people and goods throughout warehouses, factories, last-mile delivery, and retail locations throughout North America.

Based in Coatesville, Pa., Ballymore designs, develops, and manufactures highly engineered safety products that address safety and productivity issues related to vertical access and heavy material handling. The Company offers a broad suite of products and services, including rolling safety ladders, lifts, work platforms, fall protection systems, portable loading docks, lift tables, conveyors, stackers, and reach tools. This equipment is most commonly used in retail and industrial environments. The Company operates six facilities in the U.S. and has approximately 270 employees.

“Companies are increasingly looking for innovative technologies and solutions that ensure worker safety and enhance productivity,” said Steve Lunau, Partner, One Equity Partners. “Ballymore has a longstanding reputation, developed organically and through strategic M&A, for developing and delivering high quality and innovative workplace solutions. This investment exemplifies OEP’s focus on identifying strong businesses with significant growth potential that can serve as a platform for growth through transformational M&A.”

“We are excited to work with One Equity Partners as we look to continue growing our operations and enhance our product set,” said Bill Frame, President & CEO of Ballymore Safety Products. “OEP has significant experience investing in industrial manufacturing companies, and we look forward to partnering to grow Ballymore into a true market leader.”

“This industry is experiencing tailwinds from the re-shoring of industrial activity in the U.S. and an increased focus on employee safety for a workforce,” added Mario Ancic, Principal, One Equity Partners. “Together, these dynamics create an opportune market environment to support Ballymore’s growth as companies seek to enhance employee retention, drive productivity, and limit time loss due to injury.”

Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
