About Banker Steel
Now a wholly owned subsidiary of DBM, the Virginia-based Banker Steel facilitates the provision of fabricated structural steel and erection service, with their clientele primarily spanning the East Coast and Southeast commercial and industrial construction markets. Banker Steel consists of 6 operating companies, which will continue operations under their existing CEO and executive team.
Scope of Acquisition
Banker Steel was targeted for acquisition based on their status as an industry leader, and the stellar track record to prove it. With a backlog amounting to more than USD$800 million as of the end of April, the company has managed marquee projects for the likes of JP Morgan and Barclay’s. HCHC hopes the company’s control of the Eastern US markets will substantially complement HCHC’s predominantly West Coast focused market footprint.
