Red Dot Corp. has reached an agreement to acquire JBAR A/C Inc. of Valley View, Ohio. Financial terms were not disclosed.
JBAR designs and manufactures heaters and air conditioning systems for vehicles used in construction, materials handling and other heavy-duty applications. The company will operate as a subsidiary of Red Dot, retaining the JBAR brand, management team and employees.
“This acquisition strengthens our manufacturing and distribution presence in the Eastern U.S. and Canada and expands our family of HVAC unit kits,” said Randy Gardiner, president, CEO and chairman of Red Dot. “With its focus on heavy-duty markets and reputation for quality and engineering, JBAR is a perfect complement for Red Dot.”
“As a Red Dot company, JBAR will be able to provide the manufacturing, customer support, distribution and engineering resources our customers expect,” said Mike Pease, president of JBAR. “This is an exciting opportunity for JBAR.”
