Safway Group has acquired the assets of Swing Staging Inc. and related companies — including Twin & Swing Scaffolding; Specialty Access Systems LLC; Long Island City Trucking Corp., and Scaffold King — in an apparent effort to grow its position in the New York metro area and expand its expertise and offerings in motorized access solutions.
The assets, including equipment, inventory and the brand name of Swing Staging have been transferred to Swing Staging LLC, a new Safway Group business entity.
“By acquiring the leading provider of suspended access solutions in the New York metro area, we will enhance our presence in this critical market,” said Bill Hayes, Safway Group president and CEO. “Swing Staging has built a strong reputation in the area as the ‘go-to’ provider for a wide range of suspended access solutions. For more than 50 years, they have been known for offering the most extensive, high-quality rental fleet, and delivering the right equipment in pristine condition, whenever and wherever customers need it. Swing Staging is a strong addition to the Safway Group and will help grow our motorized access business.”
Swing Staging was owned and operated by John Pantanelli, who took over the business from his father who founded it. Pantanelli will join Safway as vice president of sales for Swing Staging LLC.
Based in Waukesha, Wis., Safway Group has more than 90 locations in the United States and Canada. Safway is No. 15 on the RER 100.
