Gryphon Investors-Backed Safety Management Group Acquires CrossSafety

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Safety Management Group (“SMG” or the “Company”), a preeminent provider of safety, environmental, and risk management services and a portfolio company of Gryphon Investors (“Gryphon”), a leading middle-market private investment firm, announced today that it has acquired CrossSafety, a leading health, safety, and environmental services provider headquartered in Canada. The transaction includes CrossSafety’s TRH operations in the U.S. and Mexico. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition represents an important milestone in the growth strategies of both companies and brings together two organizations that each have more than three decades of experience helping clients protect their people, improve performance, and manage risk. The combination expands SMG’s expertise, customer base, end-market coverage, and geographic reach. With the addition of approximately 150 environmental, health, and safety professionals from CrossSafety, SMG will now have more than 500 team members, making the combined business one of the largest dedicated workplace health and safety consultancies in North America.

CrossSafety’s longstanding reputation for technical expertise, client service, and employee development closely aligns with SMG’s mission and culture. SMG will maintain the exceptional service and trusted relationships that both organizations have built, while integrating teams and leveraging the combined strengths of the business to deliver even greater value to clients.

“We are thrilled to welcome CrossSafety to the SMG family,” said Randy Gieseking, CEO of SMG. “This acquisition is about strategically planned growth. Together, we are expanding our capabilities, strengthening our market presence, and creating new opportunities for our employees and clients. We are excited to bring these two successful companies together and look forward to building a leading safety, health, environmental, and risk management partner across North America.”

“Joining SMG is an exciting opportunity for our employees and our clients,” said John Murphy, CEO of CrossSafety. “By bringing our experience and services together, we are creating a stronger company with more resources and broader expertise across North America.”

“CrossSafety is a highly strategic and culturally aligned addition to SMG,” said Tim Bradley, Deal Partner in Gryphon’s Heritage Group. “When Gryphon partnered with Randy and the SMG team, we identified a meaningful opportunity to scale a market-leading outsourced safety services platform through organic growth, geographic expansion, enhanced capabilities, and strategic M&A. CrossSafety brings a respected team of professionals, deep client relationships, and complementary capabilities across attractive end markets. We are pleased to support SMG as it continues building one of North America’s leading safety and risk management platforms.”
