KPS Global, Everidge Finalize Merger

Following up on a January post, KPS Global has completed its acquisition of Everidge.

“We are excited to enter the next phase of our strategic partnership,” says Mike Eakins, CEO of KPS Global, in the release. “Now the real fun begins! When we announced this partnership, we outlined the benefits our customers would experience, and it’s time for us to fulfill that promise.”

In the earlier post, KPS Global pointed to how the merger will help better serve customers and employees, and allow it to expand its product offerings. KPS Global primarily serves large food retailers and Everidge boosts its foodservice focus.

Chris Kahler, CEO of Everidge, says, “This is a defining moment in our company’s history. Bringing together two great organizations to better serve our customers with such a talented management team is exciting.”

KPS Global welcomed members of the Kahler family to its board of directors and officially announced the appointment of Chris, Mike and Stephen Kahler to the KPS Global leadership team.

KPS Global, of Fort Worth, Texas, provides custom enclosure solutions for controlled environments. Everidge, of Plymouth, Minn., offers commercial cold storage, walk-in coolers/freezers, cold storage doors, mobile cold storage and cook-chill specialty solutions. The combined, privately held company has more than 1,700 employees and 12 plants across the U.S.
