WAUKESHA, Wis. (PRWEB) August 27, 2015 -- In another significant move toward becoming the largest and best access and industrial services company in North America, Safway Group Holding LLC is announcing the acquisition of Mobley Industrial Services, Inc., a premier Gulf Coast coatings company. “By joining forces with Mobley, Safway Group continues to execute our strategy and is accelerating our growth plan,” said Bill Hayes, Safway Group President and CEO. “With Mobley’s strong team, excellent safety culture, track record of performance and superior customer service, we will enhance our aggressive multiservice expansion plans in the Gulf Region.”
Mobley is a well-respected, customer-driven, family-owned company with an excellent safety culture and over 35 years of experience. “By bringing our solid, high-performing companies together, we can deliver the best value throughout the Gulf Region,” said Chuck Mobley, President of Mobley. “Safway can leverage Mobley’s coatings expertise, and Mobley can offer its customers Safway’s vast access, scaffold and insulation expertise. I am especially happy that this combination of our businesses is about growth – not cost reductions – and that Safway values and needs our full team. We’re a great fit culturally and strategically for Safway.”

We value Mobley’s team and capabilities – their people, professional expertise, customer reach, as well as their locations and footprint.”
