CHICAGO, August 4 — Riverbend Industries Inc. announced today that it has sold Carlson Acquisition Company (“Carlson”), its Tulsa, Oklahoma-based flange-making subsidiary, to an affiliate of the Zink Family Office, also headquartered in Tulsa. Zink Industrial Group LLC invests in industrial manufacturing and fabrication companies.
Riverbend was committed to finding a strong long-term home for Carlson, and the Zink Industrial Group provided that fit. The divestiture also allows Riverbend to focus more fully on its core HVAC and Building Solutions businesses.
“Riverbend’s owners, management, and employees are grateful for the contributions of our former Carlson teammates, and we wish them well as part of the Zink Industrial Group family of companies,” said Brian Kobylinski, Riverbend’s President and CEO. “We are excited to have completed our transformation to focus on our core HVAC and Building Solutions businesses and to continue advancing our growth journey.”
