MUSKEGON, Mich. - Michimich -- Transaction Summary

Calder Capital, a nationwide mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of Bush Concrete Products, Inc. of Muskegon, Michigan, to Wieser Concrete Products, Inc. of Maiden Rock, Wisconsin.

The Acquisition Story

For nearly a century, Bush Concrete has manufactured high-quality standard and custom precast concrete products. Owner Jerry McGrath, engaged Calder's Sell-Side team as he prepared to exit the company, seeking a disciplined process designed to identify not only the most qualified buyer, but the right buyer for Bush's next chapter. Although achieving a strong outcome was important, his objective was never solely to maximize value. McGrath was equally focused on finding a long-term steward who would invest in the company's future, protect its employees, and preserve the reputation and values Bush Concrete Products had built over generations.

Bush Concrete's engagement led to Calder Capital marketing and advising the sale of the business to Wieser Concrete Products.

Wieser's Midwestern roots, complementary product capabilities, and long-term operating outlook made Bush Concrete a strong strategic fit.

Andy Wieser, CEO of Wieser Concrete Products, noted, "Both Wieser and Bush have been built around the same values – hard work, quality products, taking care of customers and treating employees like family. We are hoping to bring additional support, resources, manufacturing capabilities and a broader range of precast products that will allow the Michigan operation to continue to grow and serve its customers."
