Tensar Corporation (“Tensar”), a global leader in geogrid engineered solutions for civil construction, and a portfolio company of Castle Harlan Inc.’s fund Castle Harlan Partners V, L.P., announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) (“CMC”), as part of CMC’s strategy to expand its leadership in construction solutions.

 

“I’m enthusiastic about the opportunity for Tensar to join with CMC for expanded reach in the civil infrastructure market,” said Mike Lawrence, CEO of Tensar. “Both companies have a rich history of innovation, service and commitment to our customers’ success.
