Permasteelisa Group, the leading international facade specialist, recently announced its North American expansion with the acquisition of key business assets from Benson Industries, a leader in design, engineering, fabrication and installation of custom unitized curtain wall and glass solutions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Benson is widely recognized among the architectural and construction community as one of the premier custom curtain wall and external cladding subcontractors in the United States.Established in Portland, Oregon in 1926, Benson maintains offices across California, Washington, and Oregon with additional design and engineering facilities worldwide, including in Singapore, the Philippines, and Mexico. Over the past several decades, Benson worked on many iconic projects, including the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and The Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles.With the acquisition of Benson, Permasteelisa Group significantly expands the size and scope of its operations across North America, growing its footprint in several key markets. Together, customers of both businesses will now be able to leverage a broader suite of global capabilities and offerings. The expansion of our North American footprint is a crucial component of our long-term growth strategy and this acquisition is an exciting milestone on our path toward achieving it, said Liam Cummins, CEO of Permasteelisa Group. The highly capable team joining us from Benson has an excellent track record and shares our commitment to providing the very best service to our clients. With Bensons West Coast presence and complementary glass and curtain wall offerings, this acquisition is truly a win-win for our customers, suppliers and teams.Supported by Permasteelisa Groups global resources, Benson will operate as a standalone business within Permasteelisa North America. Lance Howard, who served as President of Benson since 2016, has been named chief executive officer of the combined North American business. As a leading international faade specialist, Permasteelisa Group is the ideal destination for Bensons team. Permasteelisas deep industry experience and international presence will enable us to expand our technical offering and access new design and production resources worldwide, said Lance Howard. By leveraging our capabilities with Permasteelisa Groups global reputation for excellence, we will be able to further enhance our ability to service our clients. I look forward to what is ahead in this next chapter for our newly united organization.About Permasteelisa GroupPermasteelisa Group operates in 23 locations on four continents.
