Husqvarna buys Blastrac Global

Bard Capital Holdings, the owner of Blastrac, has announced that it has agreed to sell its business to Swedish public company Husqvarna Group. The acquisition is reported to be a significant opportunity and will add to Husqvarna Construction’s surface preparation technology and product offerings.

Brian MacKenzie, CEO of Blastrac, said that Blastrac and Husqvarna have been robust but respected competitors for many years. We are excited to marry our business to a strong and long-term industry player, and in these uncertain times, size and financial strength will be important to our employees and customers alike.
