DICA has acquired SlatTrax, maker an engineered ground protection solution that can be deployed mechanically or manually. Both options allow users to deploy and retrieve the roadway quickly, according to the company.
“This acquisition is a natural expansion of the DICA brand,” said Kris Koberg, CEO, in a prepared statement. “SlatTrax provides temporary worksite access, minimizes damage to lawns, and gives crews a stable work surface. Durable and easy to handle, SlatTrax is a unique solution for companies that are working with light and medium duty equipment in a wide variety of industries.”
DICA acquired SlatTrax from Gary Ringus, who was the founder and owner of the company.
“I appreciate this opportunity to further develop SlatTrax products with a company that is aligned with my vision to create efficient and ergonomic ground protection solutions,” Ringus said in a statement. “Our common goal is to improve day-to-day operations for construction and maintenance crews,” said Ringus.
DICA has assumed all ongoing operations for the SlatTrax brand, and Ringus remains involved, working as a consultant and a manufacturer’s representative during the transition.
Earlier this year, DICA moved to a new facility which doubled the company's manufacturing capabilities.
“Our new facility enables us to increase SlatTrax product availability and shorten lead times,” said Koberg. “We are building inventory, and soon, all standard products will be available to ship from stock.”
