Barricade Services and Sales acquired by RoadSafe Traffic Systems
RoadSafe Traffic Systems, Inc., the nationโs largest provider of traffic control and pavement marking services, announced today the acquisition of Barricade Services & Sales, Inc (BSSI).
Based in Salt Lake City, UT, BSSI is a leading supplier of traffic control products and services in the Salt Lake City market.
The acquisition of BSSI further establishes RoadSafeโs position in the Mountain West region and expansion into the Utah market, one of the fastest-growing markets for traffic management in the U.S.
The transaction follows RoadSafeโs recent growth in the Pacific Northwest and West Coast, including the acquisition earlier this year of Innovative Marking Systems in Bluffdale, UT, and is RoadSafeโs first acquisition since entering into a partnership with private equity firms Investcorp and Trilantic North America in April.
โThe addition of BSSI expands our service offerings while establishing our geographic presence in attractive, high-growth regions,โ said David Meirick, CEO of RoadSafe. โUnder the leadership and direction of Gary Shields, BSSI has a strong reputation in the industry, and their level of service โ combined with their years of experience โ make them a strong fit for RoadSafe.โ
BSSI founder Gary Shields, will continue to lead the Utah traffic control operation alongside the current management team. โWe are excited to join the RoadSafe family and will continue to provide our customers with excellent service while investing in our resources and our team,โ said Shields. โRoadSafeโs focus on company culture, safety and customer service aligns well with our values and makes this a seamless choice for BSSI.โ
โAs RoadSafe continues to execute on its growth strategy, the addition of BSSI helps advance the companyโs traffic control and pavement marking service offering in key markets,โ said Joe Scarano, RoadSafeโs President. โWe look forward to welcoming and working alongside the entire BSSI team.โ
