Two local metal fabrication companies are joining forces in hopes their new meld will be a “dominant force” in the industry.
Ridalco Industries announced Tuesday it is acquiring fellow Ottawa company P.E. Rail & Son. Terms of the deal, which closed on Jan. 1, were not disclosed and the newly merged firm declined to disclose its headcount. Pierre Rail, president and CEO of Rail & Son, will join the senior management team of the combined company.
A release says that both firms specialize in custom steel and aluminum fabrications for hospitals, governments, commercial building operators and other businesses as well as individual homeowners.
