“The acquisition of Hadco is the next logical step in our strategy of industry diversification and further develop of DGI’s footprint,” said DGI chief executive Frank Robben. 

“We now have acquired a business that is highly respected in the steel and dredging industry and claimed a presence in the strategically important Alabama region, which is home to a large segment of the U.S. steel industry. Additionally, Hadco’s expertise in hydraulic repair and maintenance will reinforce our competitive advantage.”

Founded in 2005, Hadco specializes in repair of and provides field services for hydraulic cylinders, gearboxes and pumps. It serves the dredging industry and steel mills in Alabama.  

Logan Industries, meanwhile, has locations in Houston, Texas; Mobile, Ala.; and New Iberia, La.; and serves the offshore oil and gas sector. The company said the combination of Logan’s engineering support and Hadco’s repair skills, along with the scale of the two businesses, will allow the combined businesses to offer an expanded portfolio of repair and maintenance services. 

Hadco was founded by Bobby Hadley, who will remain at Hadco as the general manager to provide continuity and stability for this business and current customers. 

“The link-up with DGI Logan will allow us to further expand our hydraulic services and capacity, benefitting our existing customers. We are looking forward to collaborate with our new colleagues at DGI Logan,” Hadley said.
