DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: ACA) (“Arcosa” or the “Company”), a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Arcosa Marine Products, Inc. (“Arcosa Marine”) to Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. for $450 million in cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, after regulatory approval and satisfying other customary closing conditions.
Tracing its roots back to 1903 and marketed under the Arcosa Marine, Nabrico and Wintech brands, the Company’s barge business is a leading manufacturer of inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches and marine hardware with operations located along the U.S. inland river systems. Reported within the Company’s Transportation Products segment, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were $383 million and $68 million, respectively, in 2025. The Company intends to use the net after-tax proceeds to further invest in the expansion of its core growth platforms and reduce outstanding debt.
Antonio Carrillo, President and CEO of Arcosa commented, “With a strong backlog that provides production visibility deep into 2026 and market fundamentals supporting a healthy replacement cycle, we believe this is the right time to transition the barge business to an owner aligned with its long-term growth plans. I am confident in its continued success under the focused ownership of Wynnchurch. I want to thank our talented leadership team, dedicated employees and longstanding customers for their significant contributions to Arcosa Marine. We look forward to Arcosa Marine building on its strong reputation for providing best-in-class products in this next chapter.”
Carrillo continued, “Today’s announcement is a pivotal step in the strategic transformation and simplification of our portfolio. Upon completion of the divestiture, Arcosa will be fully focused on its key growth businesses – construction materials and engineered structures – both of which are well-aligned with long-term infrastructure and power market tailwinds in the U.S. The barge divestiture further reduces complexity and cyclicality, raises our overall margin profile and enhances the long-term resiliency of the company.”
Carrillo concluded, “We have an active pipeline of investment opportunities, both organic and inorganic, and plan to prioritize the allocation of capital toward our high growth, high margin businesses.”
Wells Fargo served as financial advisor to Arcosa and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as legal advisor for the sale of the barge business. Paul Hastings served as legal advisor to Wynnchurch in connection with the transaction.
