Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Barnhart Crane & Rigging Co. has expanded internationally for the first time by acquiring NCSG of Acheson, Alberta, Canada.
Founded in 1987 as Northern Crane Services, NCSG operates eight branches across Western Canada’s energy corridor, including locations in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, and employs about 400 workers.
This acquisition is Barnhart's largest to date.
“We are pleased to join the Barnhart family,” NCSG President and CEO, Heather MacCallum, said. “Our goal has been to serve as the premier supplier in Western Canada’s crane and heavy haul sector by providing best-in-class equipment, personnel, an award-winning safety program and operational best practices.”
MacCallum pointed to NCSG’s record in sustainability, including numerous indigenous partnerships, its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workforce, and its enviable safety record.
“NCSG is a natural fit with Barnhart,” she said.
