Applied Value Group's Division 5 Acquires Structural Steel of Carolina

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Division 5 LLC, a portfolio company of Applied Value Group's investment arm, Applied Invest LLC (formerly Garden Growth Capital LLC), has acquired Winston-Salem based Structural Steel of Carolina (SSC), a leader in structural steel fabrication that specializes in education, healthcare, and industrial applications.

For Division 5, the acquisition represents a significant expansion in opportunity and capacity: post-integration, the combined organization will boast over 350,000 square feet of fabrication space and 75,000 annual tons of capacity, making it one of the United States' top-ten largest structural steel fabricators.

As Division 5's core warehouse business is positioned to benefit from booming e-commerce demand, SSC's integration will also bring access to new customers and markets. SSC, originally founded in 1907 as Salem Steel, will join Division 5 with an experienced team of managers to form a new power-player with unparalleled capacity, expertise, and market reach.

"We're extremely proud to have SSC join the Division 5 and Applied Invest family," said Max Sultan, Lead Director with Division 5, who led the deal alongside Bruce Grant, Executive Chairman at Applied Invest. "SSC has strong roots and a bright future, and we're excited to work with the incredible management team that Jim and Mary Brewer have built. SSC is a trusted partner to its customers and has a longstanding legacy that we are honored to join and uphold."

SSC owners Jim and Mary Brewer echoed Sultan's excitement for the deal. "As a family business, we were always looking for ways to guarantee SSC's continued success for future generations," Jim Brewer said. "We believe our partnership with Division 5 will create opportunities for our employees and our new, combined company while allowing us to continue providing excellent customer service to customers, new and old."
