Rite-Hite Acquires Johnson Equipment

Milwaukee, Wis.-based Rite-Hite® Holding Corporation has acquired Johnson Equipment Company, an industrial equipment dealer for Rite-Hite headquartered in Dallas, Texas with 300 employees at 15 regional offices in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Mexico.

• This is one of the largest acquisitions to date for the industrial equipment manufacturer.

Founded in 1959 by Marvin L. Johnson, the family-owned company has grown alongside the Rite-Hite business through the years.

“The Johnson culture and values align perfectly with ours,” said Micaela Bomhack, President and CEO of Rite-Hite.

“With a focus on the customer, a deep belief in the Rite-Hite products and solutions and an unwavering commitment to safety, innovation and integrity, this is a great match for both companies.”

Customers of Johnson Equipment will continue receiving the same trusted service and support from the Johnson Equipment team they know today.

Rite-Hite is a world leader in the manufacture, sale, and service of loading dock equipment, industrial doors, safety barriers, HVLS fans, industrial curtain walls, and more – all designed to improve safety, security, productivity, energy savings, and environmental control.

“We plan to take a thoughtful approach to integrating our businesses so we can capitalize on the best of both organizations,” said Dan Anderson, President of Global Distribution at Rite-Hite.

The Johnson Equipment Company sales and service offices become part of a growing Rite-Hite network of company owned distribution locations serving customers in the USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
