Allredi, a North American distributor of surface preparation, abrasives, and safety products to industrial contractors, has entered into a partnership with GMA Garnet Group (“GMA”), providing Allredi with access to GMA’s abrasive product line across its supply chain throughout the United States and Canada. Allredi is backed by Capstreet and Ridgemont Equity Partners.
Allredi supplies garnet abrasives to end users for the maintenance, cleaning and repair of large steel structures in the industrial, infrastructure, and downstream energy sectors. GMA provides garnet abrasives for use in blasting steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass, with operations in North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East.
“GMA produces a quality, high performance garnet abrasive, and we are excited to partner with them to better serve our customers,” said Allredi CEO Kevin Bourbonnais. “Our agreement with GMA provides Allredi with new access to a large, consistent volume of quality garnet processed in the U.S. With GMA’s processing facilities in Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, we believe we can effectively serve customers throughout the U.S. and Canada, expanding beyond our previous Gulf-centric approach to Garnet distribution.”
