Bishop Lifting<\/a>, a portfolio company of Altamont Capital Partners, has acquired Bairstow Lifting Products, headquartered in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Bairstow, owned by brothers Robert and Andy Bairstow, was founded by their father, Bob Bairstow, in 1960 as a local wire rope fabricating shop.<\/p>\n

Since then, the company has expanded its offerings and services to become a leading supplier of rigging products and fall protection solutions in a major metropolitan area serving various end markets, including construction, entertainment, utility, automotive, and marine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bairstow marks Bishop<\/a>\u2019s 13th acquisition since 2012 and is the sixth add-on acquisition since Altamont\u2019s investment.<\/p>\n

By expanding into the greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area, Bishop<\/a> will continue to execute its ongoing strategy to become the country\u2019s leading provider of lifting products and services by adding strategic branch locations, enabling the company to serve its customers throughout the country. Robert and Andy Bairstow will assist with the transition following the closing, and Carey Hanson will remain as general manager and continue to run the day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of Bairstow adds to our footprint in the growing southeast region, and I\u2019m excited to welcome the entire Bairstow team,\u201d said Harold King, CEO of Bishop Lifting<\/a>.<\/p>\n
