Gibraltar Industries Sheds Infrastructure Arm in $208 Million Deal
A $208 million cash infusion is set to reshape the portfolio of Buffalo-based Gibraltar Industries as the company offloads its D.S. Brown infrastructure division. The buyer, French industrial heavyweight Saint-Gobain, gains a foothold in specialized bridge and highway solutions through this all-cash transaction expected to finalize by year-end.
Proceeds from the sale are earmarked for debt reduction and strengthening the corporate balance sheet. This move marks a decisive step in the manufacturer’s effort to refine its strategic focus, moving away from infrastructure to prioritize its remaining building-products business.
