Ironwood Capital Company ARS Recycling Systems Acquires Ernest Industries Inc.

LOWELLVILLE, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ARS Recycling Systems (“ARS”) (www.arsrecycling.com) has announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Ernest Industries Inc. ARS is a portfolio company of Ironwood Capital.

Ernest Industries is a leading fabricator of short load concrete mixers (www.ernestindustries.com) and road stripping machines (www.kellycreswell.com) and has a diverse mix of customers including OEMs, contractors and municipalities. The products are correlated to infrastructure improvements.

Founded in 1991, ARS is the preeminent designer and manufacturer of recycling machines and dust collectors in North America with a portfolio of various sized machines for applications across multiple markets. ARS is headquartered in Lowellville, Ohio.

This acquisition will allow us to take our fabrication expertise in infrastructure and expand into additional markets via new customers.
