An affiliate of Balmoral Funds LLC has signed and closed on a definitive agreement to purchase Resco Products, Inc, a leading refractory manufacturer, from an affiliate of Wellspring Capital Management LLC. Industry veteran Kevin Handerhan, who will serve as Chairman, co-led the acquisition for Balmoral along with several of Balmoral’s investment professionals and operating advisors.
Resco is one of North America's leading producers of refractory products and serves both the steel and industrial end markets via its diverse product offering of bricks, monolithics, pre-cast shapes, cartops, and clays & minerals.
“We look forward to building on Resco’s reputation as an industry leader to continue to provide customers with high-quality products and unmatched service,” said Handerhan. “Over the years, Resco’s quality, innovation and technical expertise have created a win-win for itself and its customers.” Mr. Handerhan went on to say, “Resco’s customers are primed for growth in the coming years due to pent up demand in key sectors such as automotive, construction, and infrastructure. Balmoral intends to invest significantly to enhance the experience and value proposition for Resco’s customers, employees, vendors and others.”
