-- UFP Industries (UFPI) said Monday it is acquiring pallet manufacturer John Rock for about $48 million to bolster its packaging abilities and expand its unit PalletOne's outreach in the northeast region.
UFP Industries is buying three of the four operating locations, but the sawmill in Dilwyn, Virginia will remain with the seller, the company said.
The acquisition adds $82 million in annual sales and will transition 250 John Rock employees to UFP, according to a statement.
The acquired assets will be integrated into PalletOne's existing manufacturing network to improve efficiency and service levels, the company stated.
