“With over 105 years in the business, Campbell is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier of chain and related products with a diverse set of customers that will make a great addition to Hillman,” commented Jon Michael Adinolfi, president, and chief executive officer of Hillman. “Going forward, we will continue to pursue attractive acquisition opportunities as a key part of our growth strategy.”
Chris Martin, Hillman’s Executive Vice President of Commercial & Industrial, added: “The acquisition of Campbell expands our presence in the industrial MRO channel, considering commercial and industrial customers make up the majority of Campbell’s business. Further, this deal complements our 2024 acquisition of Koch Industries, which marked Hillman’s entrance into the chain category.”
Founded in 1919, Campbell offers an extensive product offering to its broad base of commercial, industrial and retail customers across the US and Canada. Its products include welded and weldless chain, forged fittings, overhead lifting, and lifting clamp products.
Campbell serves attractive end markets, including agriculture, forestry, government, heavy/light duty equipment, industrial, marine, material handling, and hardware stores.
