Dallas, Texas-based The Crosby Group LLC, the largest lifting, rigging, and material handling hardware company in the world, has completed the acquisition of Straightpoint UK (SP), a manufacturer of load cells and force measurement equipment. The value of the transaction is not disclosed.<\/p>\n
The acquisition, effective Jan. 2 2019, includes the manufacturing facility and headquarters, co-located in Hampshire, UK that will become Crosby\u2019s center for load monitoring and measurement, in addition to key personnel based in the U.S.<\/p>\n
David Ayling, formerly CEO at SP, will step into a new role overseeing sales, marketing, and product development functions for all load monitoring equipment. He will report to Robert Desel, Chief Commercial Officer at Crosby.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a close relationship with SP for quite a while\u2014its load shackles are based on the industry standard Crosby G2130 shackle, and we use SP products on our Safe Rigging trucks, Desel said in a statement. \u201cSP\u2019s position as a leader and innovator in load measurement and monitoring, and the opportunity to integrate its technology into our portfolio, made this a compelling addition to Crosby. Safe lifting is in Crosby\u2019s DNA and load monitoring is a critical part of that equation. Monitored lifts are inherently safer and we can now increase adoption of this best practice on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
