Leviat Acquires RJD Industries to Expand Innovative Concrete Accessory Portfolio

Leviat has completed the acquisition of RJD Industries, a U.S. manufacturer of high-performance, non-corrosive products for concrete construction. The acquisition represents an important milestone in the company’s growth strategy, strengthening its position as a leading provider of engineered solutions for the construction industry and expanding its ability to help designers, specifiers and contractors improve durability, quality and performance across a broad range of applications.

“RJD Industries represents an important milestone for Leviat and demonstrates our commitment to accelerating growth by investing in innovative technologies, strong customer relationships and complementary capabilities,” said Jesse Hawthorne, CEO of Leviat. “We see significant opportunities to expand and strengthen our leading market positions through both organic growth and targeted acquisitions that bring differentiated technologies, strong customer relationships and complementary capabilities into Leviat. RJD is an excellent example of that strategy in action.”

Founded in 1987 and based in Ogden, Utah, RJD Industries offers a proven portfolio of specialised fibre-reinforced polymer solutions, including SuperTie™ fibreglass form-tie systems, FiberDowel™ fibreglass dowel-bar systems, glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar, and SpliceSeal™ rebar splice-sealing products. These solutions are engineered for applications where corrosion resistance, durability and installation efficiency are critical.

RJD's portfolio complements Leviat's existing range of engineered connection, reinforcement and concrete construction solutions, expanding the company's ability to address applications where corrosion resistance, durability and lifecycle performance are critical.

“RJD Industries brings proven technology, a respected U.S.-made product portfolio and deep customer relationships to Leviat,” said Brad Nesset, Regional President of Leviat North America. “By bringing RJD’s innovative solutions together with Leviat’s broad North American product offering and engineering expertise, we are strengthening our ability to serve customers across the region and help them solve complex construction challenges with durable, high-performing concrete solutions.”

The acquisition aligns with Leviat’s strategy of expanding its portfolio through innovation, organic growth and strategic acquisitions that enhance the value delivered to customers. Leviat was acquired by One Equity Partners (OEP) earlier this year and remains focused on investing in complementary product categories and technologies that strengthen its global market positions and broaden the solutions available to the construction industry.

RJD Industries will continue to serve customers through its established dealer, distributor and representative network while benefiting from Leviat's engineering expertise, and technical support capabilities.
