ATCO Structures Grows North American Modular Capabilities with Acquisition of NRB Modular Solutions

ATCO Ltd. (TSX: ACO.X) (TSX: ACO.Y)

ATCO Ltd. announced today that its Structures division has acquired NRB Ltd. (NRB), a leading Canadian manufacturer of modular industrial, educational and residential buildings for a purchase price of $40 million , payable in cash and subject to normal closing adjustments and conditions, including competition bureau review. The transaction is expected to close near the end of July 2024 .

"ATCO is excited about the opportunity to expand NRB's modular business capabilities, particularly in the manufacturing of multi-family and affordable housing modular construction solutions," said Adam Beattie , President of ATCO Structures. "There is no doubt that NRB has been a market leader in this space, we want to continue to build on this expertise, and we believe ATCO, a Canadian company that has pioneered the modular industry globally, is a fantastic complement to bring out the best in NRB's future."

NRB has close to 400 employees and four manufacturing facilities across Canada , three of which are in new markets that ATCO Structures currently doesn't manufacture in today, expanding its ability to supply turnkey modular solutions across Canada . A subsidiary of the Dexterra Group, NRB has been a trusted name in the offsite building industry for 45 years. "We wish the NRB team all the best as they begin a new chapter under ATCO's leadership and we are confident they will continue to deliver quality modular products and projects to their valued clients," said Mark Becker , CEO of Dexterra.

The acquisition of NRB is a material step in ATCO Structures' plans to expand its manufacturing, operations and sales footprint, and grow the modular residential market. "Offsite construction is the emerging alternative to traditional construction and ATCO is aligned with governments, housing advocacy groups and prospective homeowners in that modular housing can play a bigger role in meeting society's need for quality and affordable housing solutions," added Mr. Beattie.

With manufacturing facilities in Canada , the United States , Mexico , Chile and Australia , ATCO Structures provides global turnkey permanent and temporary modular solutions for mobile offices, workforce housing, hotels, medical facilities, schools, multi and single-family housing and more.
