Profile
Designs and manufactures lifting, rigging, and motion-control equipment for industrial material handling, sold mainly through third-party distributors and crane builders under brands including Crosby, Kito, CM, Yale, and Stahl. Revenue recently roughly doubled after acquiring Kito Crosby, shifting the business toward a more consumables-heavy mix.
Designs and manufactures lifting, rigging, and motion-control equipment for industrial material handling, with roots in chain and hoist manufacturing dating to 1875.
The portfolio spans five platforms: lifting hardware and rigging under the Crosby, Kito, Yoke, and Gunnebo Industries brands; hoists and crane components under CM, Yale, Stahl, and Harrington; automation drives and controls; precision conveyance systems from Dorner, Garvey, and montratec; and linear motion equipment.
Products reach customers worldwide mainly through third-party distributors and crane builders rather than direct sale, with sales split close to evenly between the United States and international markets.
The company recently doubled in size by acquiring Kito Crosby in an all-cash deal from its private-equity owner, adding the Crosby and Harrington brands and shifting revenue toward recurring consumable products; integration, acquisition-related debt reduction, and a regulator-mandated divestiture of certain U.S. chain operations remain ongoing.
