GenNx360 Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on investing in middle market industrial business-to-business companies, has acquired Salford Farm Machinery for an undisclosed amount.
Salford is a Canada based manufacturer of tillage, seeding and fertilising equipment for the global marketplace.
Salford currently serves the North American and European markets from its facilities in Ontario, Canada, Iowa in the US, and through a joint venture in Omsk, Russia. The company sells through more than 300 dealers and distributors in North America.
"At GenNx360, we strongly believe in the megatrends that drive agribusiness. Tillage equipment manufacturers stand to benefit from the need for higher farm productivity and crop yields," says Matt Guenther, a partner with GenNx360. "We believe Salford, with its strong brand, patented technology and established dealer network, is well positioned to benefit from the growth in the tillage market. We expect to build on Salford's strengths by leveraging our operational expertise and executing on identified growth opportunities, both organically and through add-on acquisitions."
"We are excited to partner with GenNx360 in our next stage of growth," says Geof Gray, Salford's president. "We are certain that GenNx360's value creation tools and the operational capabilities of its partners will help us in getting to our goals faster and more efficiently."
