Arcosa to exit barge business in $450M cash sale to Wynnchurch Capital

Arcosa (NYSE:ACA) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its marine manufacturing subsidiary, Arcosa Marine Products, to private equity firm Wynnchurch Capital for $450 million in cash.

The transaction, which remains subject to customary adjustments and regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

The divestiture includes a business with a heritage dating back to 1903, operating under the Arcosa Marine, Nabrico, and Wintech brands.

As a leading manufacturer of inland barges, fiberglass covers, and marine hardware along the U.S. inland river system, the unit reported 2025 revenues of $383 million and Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $68 million within Arcosa’s Transportation Products segment.

Arcosa Chief Executive Officer Antonio Carrillo characterized the move as a "pivotal step" in the company’s ongoing portfolio simplification.

By exiting the barge business, the Dallas-based company aims to reduce cyclicality and focus exclusively on its core growth platforms: construction materials and engineered structures.

Carrillo noted that these sectors are better positioned to capitalize on long-term U.S. infrastructure and power market tailwinds.

The company intends to deploy the net after-tax proceeds from the sale to fund the expansion of its core businesses and pay down outstanding debt.
