HIG Capital portfolio company, Harrison Gypsum (HG), a producer and processor of high-quality minerals and aggregates has acquired JA Jack & Sons, Inc.
JA Jack is a miner and processor of limestone products, sold into building products, glass, plaster, agriculture, animal nutrition, and coatings applications. The Company owns and operates a quarry on Texada Island in British Columbia and ships rock to a processing facility in Seattle, WA.
“We are excited about the strategic expansion of our operations into the Pacific Northwest,” says Paul Harrington, Chief Executive Officer of Harrison Gypsum. “JA Jack not only allows us to grow outside our core markets of Oklahoma and Texas, but also significantly broadens our customer footprint and product portfolio within our expertise of mineral processing. The Company has had a long and successful history under the Jack family dating back to the 1940’s, and we will be sure to serve as great stewards of the business going forward.”
"We are pleased to support Harrison Gypsum in its acquisition of JA Jack," says Keval Patel, a Managing Director of HIG Capital. “The investment further establishes Harrison Gypsum as a national, pure-play minerals provider and continues our strategy to expand Harrison Gypsum’s geographic reach and end market diversification. The Western U.S. remains a key expansion area for us and JA Jack will help us accelerate our growth in this region.”
