Seeking to strengthen its ties in South America, Calgary, Alberta, Canada-based ATCO Group has acquired a 50 percent stake in Chile’s Sabinco Soluciones Modulares S. A., a space rental and workforce housing firm that accounts for ten percent of the modular housing market in Chile.
Although it was not disclosed how much was paid for the interest, the deal included purchase of land and funds that will be applied toward a future manufacturing facility under the name ATCO Sabinco S. A., as canadianmanufacturing informs MHProNews.
“Re-establishing a position in the South American market allows us to expand our global reach and further diversify our revenue sources,” Stephen Lockwood, president and CEO of the company’s Structures & Logistics division, said. He added, “ATCO’s expertise in manufacturing and project execution, paired with Sabinco’s diverse client base and local knowledge, will allow ATCO-Sabinco S.A. to expand its product offering and grow its customer base.”
