Infrastructure products and solutions company Arcosa, Inc. has agreed to sell its Arcosa Marine Products, Inc. barge business to Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. for $450 million in cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

Why it matters

The sale will help Dallas-based Arcosa concentrate on its key business sectors of construction materials and engineered structures, which are well-aligned with long-term infrastructure and power market tailwinds in the U.S. The divestiture will also reduce complexity and cyclicality, raise Arcosa's overall margin profile, and enhance the long-term resiliency of the company.

The details

Arcosa's barge business, which traces its roots back to 1903 and is marketed under the Arcosa Marine, Nabrico, and Wintech brands, manufactures inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, and marine hardware and operates along U.S. inland river systems. Revenues reported within Arcosa's transportation products segment and adjusted segment EBITDA were $383 million and $68 million, respectively, in 2025. Arcosa plans to use the net after-tax proceeds to further invest in the expansion of its core growth platforms and reduce outstanding debt.
