Infrastructure products and solutions company Arcosa, Inc. has agreed to sell Arcosa Marine Products, Inc. to Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. for $450 million in cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, after regulatory approval and the satisfying of other customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a strong backlog that provides production visibility deep into 2026 and market fundamentals supporting a healthy replacement cycle, we believe this is the right time to transition the barge business to an owner aligned with its long-term growth plans,\u201d said Antonio Carrillo, president and CEO of Arcosa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident in its continued success under the focused ownership of Wynnchurch,\u201d Carrillo added in a statement. \u201cI want to thank our talented leadership team, dedicated employees and longstanding customers for their significant contributions to Arcosa Marine. We look forward to Arcosa Marine building on its strong reputation for providing best-in-class products in this next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracing its roots back to 1903 and marketed under the Arcosa Marine, Nabrico, and Wintech brands, the company\u2019s barge business manufactures inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, and marine hardware and operates along U.S. inland river systems.<\/p>\n

Revenues reported within Arcosa\u2019s transportation products segment and adjusted segment EBITDA were $383 million and $68 million, respectively, in 2025. The company said it plans to use the net after-tax proceeds to further invest in the expansion of its core growth platforms and reduce outstanding debt.<\/p>\n

Refining Arcosa\u2019s focus<\/p>\n

Carrillo noted that the sale will help Dallas-based Arcosa concentrate on its key business sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is a pivotal step in the strategic transformation and simplification of our portfolio,\u201d he said. \u201cUpon completion of the divestiture, Arcosa will be fully focused on its key growth businesses\u2014construction materials and engineered structures \u2014both of which are well-aligned with long-term infrastructure and power market tailwinds in the U.S. The barge divestiture further reduces complexity and cyclicality, raises our overall margin profile and enhances the long-term resiliency of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrillo concluded, \u201cWe have an active pipeline of investment opportunities, both organic and inorganic, and plan to prioritize the allocation of capital toward our high growth, high margin businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wells Fargo served as financial advisor to Arcosa and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as legal advisor for the sale of the barge business. Paul Hastings served as legal advisor to Wynnchurch in connection with the transaction.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1999 and based in a Chicago suburb, Wynnchurch is a middle-market private equity firm with $8.6 billion of regulatory assets under management.<\/p>\n
