Portland Bolt & Manufacturing Co., LLC has acquired the South Carolina manufacturing and galvanizing operations of Southern Anchor Bolt Co. The deal expands Portland Bolt’s U.S.-based manufacturing footprint into the East.

The combined company will offer an increased selection of made-to-order galvanized or plain anchor bolts, rods, studs, and other manufactured and distributed products, enabling the company to reach 100% of its U.S. customers within 2 business days.

“We are excited to welcome the Southern Anchor Bolt team to the Portland Bolt family of companies,” stated Portland Bolt CEO Blake Ray. “Portland Bolt has a significant customer base on the East Coast, and this acquisition strengthens our ability to provide the best customer service and delivery to new and existing customers.”

Founded in 1966, North Augusta, SC-based Southern Anchor Bolt is a domestic manufacturer of embedded concrete bolts. Operating an in-house hot-dip galvanizing line allows the company to have short lead times and control the quality of the final product. Web: southernanchorbolt.com
