The transaction marks The Crosby Group's fifth investment since 2019.

The Crosby Group has announced the formation of its Technology Solutions business unit, including BlokCorp, Crosby Straightpoint and the strategic collaboration with Verton. The new unit broadens The Crosby Group's portfolio of products and solutions that delivers safety and productivity to every jobsite.

Robert Desel, CEO of The Crosby Group, says: "We are very excited to expand our technology offering with BlokCorp, a pioneer in delivering solutions for safer lifting operations. BlokCorp will bring tremendous value to our customers and channel partners and serve as a strong foundation to our new Technology Solutions division."

BlokCorp solutions include BlokCam camera systems for tower and mobile cranes. Additionally, BlokCorp recently launched BlokAlert, an audio/visual warning system to alert crane operators when workers are in harm's way. The BlokCorp portfolio will now go to market under the Crosby BlokCam brand.

The Crosby Group manufactures and distributes products and services used to make lifting and load securement safer and more efficient, with brands such as Crosby, Gunnebo Industries, Crosby Straightpoint, Acco, McKissick, Crosby Feubo, Trawlex, Lebus, and CrosbyIP.

With global engineering, manufacturing, distribution and operations, the company provides a broad range of products and solutions for the most demanding applications with uncompromising quality that exceeds industry standards.
