Bishop Lifting<\/a>, a portfolio company of Altamont Capital Partners, has completed the acquisition of American Rigger\u2019s Supply Inc., a leading sling fabrication and rigging supply company headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded more than 50 years ago by Chris Hughes, American Rigger\u2019s has been family-owned and operated since its inception.<\/p>\n

Today, it is owned by Chris\u2019s daughter, Jennifer Hughes, and serves a wide range of industries through its fabrication capabilities and service offerings.<\/p>\n

American Rigger\u2019s designs and manufactures custom lifting solutions made from wire rope, chain, webbing, wire mesh, and continuous fiber. In addition, the company provides training in rigging and fall protection, equipment inspections, proof testing, and repair of lifting devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This acquisition marks Bishop<\/a>\u2019s 15th acquisition since 2012 and the eighth add-on since Altamont\u2019s investment.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City location adds a strategically important branch to Bishop<\/a>\u2019s network, strengthening its presence in the Midwest and enhancing its ability to serve customers locally with a broad suite of lifting products and services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the transaction, Jennifer Hughes and founding employee Jim Leach will assist with the transition. Neal Edwards will serve as Branch Manager, leading day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Founded in 1984, Bishop Lifting is the largest provider of wire rope, slings, rigging, fall protection, and related safety-critical products in North America.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cBishop Lifting<\/a> is the right fit for our employees and our customers,\u201d said Jennifer Hughes, owner of American Rigger\u2019s Supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to see the company my father started more than 50 years ago join a team that will continue his legacy, invest in our people, and provide expanded opportunities for growth.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of American Rigger\u2019s strengthens Bishop<\/a>\u2019s footprint with an important branch in Kansas City and broader access to the Midwest,\u201d said Chase Beeler, Managing Director at Altamont Capital Partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Rigger\u2019s has delivered impressive growth in recent years, and we look forward to building on that momentum with Bishop<\/a>\u2019s broader products, services, and resources. We are proud to welcome their team to the Bishop<\/a> family.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
