Johnson Joins Rite-Hite via Acquisition

MILWAUKEE, WI -- Rite-Hite Holding Corporation has acquired Johnson Equipment Company, of Dallas, TX with 300 employees at 15 regional offices in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Mexico.

The deal is one of the largest acquisitions to date for the industrial equipment manufacturer. Founded in 1959 by Marvin L. Johnson, the family-owned company has grown alongside the Rite-Hite business through the years.

“The Johnson culture and values align perfectly with ours,” said Micaela Bomhack, president and CEO of Rite-Hite. “With a focus on the customer, a deep belief in the Rite-Hite products and solutions and an unwavering commitment to safety, innovation and integrity, this is a great match for both companies.”

Customers of Johnson Equipment will continue receiving the same trusted service and support from the Johnson Equipment team they know today.

“We plan to take a thoughtful approach to integrating our businesses so we can capitalize on the best of both organizations,” said Dan Anderson, president of Global Distribution at Rite-Hite.

The Johnson Equipment Company sales and service offices will become part of a growing Rite-Hite network of company owned distribution locations serving customers in the USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
