Ascent Lifting, Inc., has acquired Charleston-based Rigging & Marine Hardware (CRMH), marking the third acquisition for the distributor and fabricator of lifting and rigging products.
With 40 locations across the country, Ascent aims to expand its reach in the South Carolina market.
CRMH, a provider of industrial rigging products and safety solutions, operates two full-service branches in North Charleston and Columbia. The company serves key sectors such as defense, infrastructure, mining and manufacturing, offering crane services, fabrication and load testing capabilities.
"We're thrilled to partner with Jessica, Skip, and the entire CRMH team," Dee Schweigert, CEO of Ascent Lifting said.
“This strategic partnership strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers and establishes two physical locations in the highly attractive South Carolina market. We intend to be the acquirer of choice in the rigging industry and add great people and companies to the Ascent Lifting and CERTEX teams. CRMH is a prime example of this strategy.”
“Ascent Lifting and CERTEX are ideal partners for the continued growth of CRMH,” Skip Sawin, co-owner of CRMH said.
