Quantum completed the acquisition of Skyway Canada Limited and Total Support Services, the largest privately held Canadian scaffolding company and industry leader.
Quantum completed the acquisition of RailCrew Xpress, an industry leading provider of logistics services to Class One railways. To create value by expanding and protecting margins, Quantum teamed with management to rapidly consolidate the sector, completing three equity financed follow-on acquisitions within the first year of ownership: (i) Brown’s Crew Car of Wyoming, (ii) JLS, Inc., and (ii) Raudin McCormick, Inc. Today, RailCrew enjoys industry leading market share, expanding margins, and low leverage. Quantum’s LTM EBITDA acquisition multiple has been reduced to less than 2.5 as a result of the synergies already achieved. RailCrew Xpress has 875 vehicles, 1,354 employees and a footprint within eighteen states.
