Bill Niketas, LSG CEO, said, “we look forward to expanding Big Bolt’s ability to serve our collective customers by leveraging LSG’s significant base of fastener expertise, salesforce experience, inventory and physical locations across North America. We are confident this combination is very powerful and continues to establish LSG as the provider of choice for all fastener needs, focused on creating value for our customers, suppliers, employees, and all stakeholders. As with other recent acquisitions by LSG, little change is expected at Big Bolt. LSG’s goal is to maintain the exceptional Big Bolt brand name in the market. Big Bolt will continue to operate out of its existing facility, will remain on the same ERP system, and will extend the same policies currently in place.”
