Package Concierge® Signs Acquisition Agreement with Gibraltar Industries
BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) March 02, 2017 -- Package Concierge®, the multifamily industry’s preeminent supplier and innovator of electronic package management solutions, today announced it has entered into an acquisition agreement with Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer of commercial building products. Gibraltar will acquire Package Concierge for $20 million in the all-cash transaction.
Package Concierge’s manufacturing partner, Florence Corporation, a subsidiary of Gibraltar Industries, produces the only premium quality, U.S.-made package locker systems. Gibraltar’s acquisition solidifies Package Concierge’s exclusive partnership with Florence and ensures multifamily access to the innovative, American-made technology.
“The online shopping trend continues to grow exponentially, increasing the need for multifamily communities to deliver a seamless resident experience while streamlining their own operations,” said Georgianna W. Oliver, chief executive officer of Package Concierge. “By combining Gibraltar’s unmatched expertise in postal delivery products with our commitment to innovation and in-depth knowledge of the multifamily industry, our clients deliver the best package experience possible to their residents while increasing the efficiency of their leasing offices. We are thrilled to join the Gibraltar family of businesses and excited to bring new products and solutions to the apartment industry.”
Day-to-day operations will remain unchanged, and Package Concierge will continue its modernization of technologies and package management solutions. To better address the impact eCommerce growth is having on the multifamily industry, the firm will launch Package Concierge Express® and a Package Concierge Package Room in 2017.
“Package Concierge is the clear market leader in the multifamily segment and through the acquisition of Package Concierge, we plan to accelerate Gibraltar’s presence in the overall fast-growing Package Delivery Locker market,” said Gibraltar Chief Executive Officer Frank Heard. “Package Concierge’s proprietary software/hardware solution and deep understanding of the multifamily market, coupled with our current ExpressLocker™ product, provide Gibraltar with a distinct competitive advantage.
