Safway expands services

US scaffolding group Safway Services has acquired Illinois based North American Coating, a provider of industrial painting, fireproofing and specialty coating services.

North American Coatings (NAC) and its subsidiaries, which includes CL Coating (CL), Industrial Coating & Fireproofing (ICF) and SEI Coating, will continue to operate independently within the Safway group.

Safway chief executive Bill Hayes said: “We have worked with CL and ICF as a supplier and as a partner for the past six years on numerous projects. Our teams have successfully worked together in many areas so the working relationship between our companies is excellent.”

“Acquiring NAC and its family of companies is part of our overall multi-service strategy. Many of our customers would prefer to work with companies that offer scaffolding, insulation and painting, rather than contract separately for these services. With the NAC family of companies, Safway adds unmatched depth, experience and expertise in painting, coating and fireproofing, to its insulation services and access solutions.”
