North American Rail Solutions, a provider of industrial rail inspection, construction, maintenance and terminal services, through its subsidiary, American Track, announced March 4 that it has acquired West Rail Construction, LLC, in Vancouver, Wash.
Led by President Mike Sands, West Rail Construction has been a “key provider of rail maintenance and construction services in the Northwest U.S. for more than 25 years,” and provides services to customers in a wide range of industries, including ports, forestry, chemicals, energy and waste.
This acquisition, North American Rail Solutions says, provides the company and its subsidiary “the opportunity to expand local presence and service offerings to customers in the Northwest region as well as other areas along the West Coast.”
“The Northwest U.S. is an important territory for American Track and West Rail Construction is the premier rail service provider and operator in that geography,” said North American Rail Solutions CEO Thomas Lucario. “We could not be more exited to add Mike Sands and his team to the American Track family. We are certain that West Rail will help American Track grow and further our goals of expanding national coverage capabilities for our multi-site customers.”
“We are happy to join the American Track team. American Track will provide our operations with an essential injection of capital, operational support and reach needed to take our business to the next level,” said Sands. “This is the right thing for us and our employees to provide the growth trajectory we were looking for in the Northwest.”
