TRANSACTION DETAILS

Mullen Rigging was founded in Calgary in 2006 by Jamie and Jackie Mullen, and is a leading supplier of specialty rigging, lifting, and hauling services across Alberta and specifically in the Calgary and Edmonton/Leduc/Nisku regions of the province.

"Jamie Mullen and his team have built a great business providing their many customers with specialized solutions to their lifting, moving and hauling needs" said Ted Redmond, President of NCSG, "Mullen Rigging broadens NCSG’s rigging expertise and provides additional equipment including hydraulic gantries, jacking systems, and gives us additional jack & slide crews in Calgary and Leduc". "We plan to add Mullen Rigging’s gantries and other equipment/services to the services offered by NCSG’s existing branches, and offer NCSG’s crane and heavy haul services to the important Calgary market from Mullen Rigging’ Calgary location."

As a part of the transaction, Jamie and Jackie Mullen as well as the other owners of Mullen Rigging plan to stay on with the business in their current roles. They will also play an important function within NCSG growing the specialty rigging capabilities of NCSG as a whole.

"Mullen Rigging’s experienced crews will continue to provide our long term customers with our specialized knowledge of rigging, gantry, jack and slide, hauling, and lifting services" said Jamie Mullen, "with access to NCSG’s team of over 630 employees and NCSG’s fleet of over 285 cranes, 215 lines of hydraulic platform trailers, 280 conventional trailers and 78 tractors, Mullen Rigging will be able to take on larger projects and meet even more of our customers' rigging, moving, lifting and heavy haul needs."
