We are pleased to announce that SRP Advisors, LLC initiated the transaction and acted as financial advisor to ROM Corporation in connection with the acquisition of the Lighting Solutions Division from Havis, Inc. Based in Belton, MO, ROM designs and manufactures innovative niche products used in the trucking and transportation industries including shutter doors used in fire safety and military vehicles, as well as ramps, insulated bulkheads and related products used in foodservice trailers. The Lighting Solutions Division provides spot flood scene lights, telescoping mounting poles, and vehicle interior lighting such as dome lights and compartment lights for use on emergency response and police vehicles. These products are essential tools for emergency responders who need to maintain situational awareness and conduct casualty and damage assessments upon arrival at the site of a critical incident. The acquisition will diversify ROM’s existing product line and serve to strengthen customer relationships with leading fire apparatus manufacturers and first responders.
This transaction extends the successful track record of SRP Advisors working with leading companies in the specialty vehicle components market.
“Havis Lighting Solutions products are high quality and enjoy market-leading recognition in the fire service sector. Likewise, ROM is recognized for industry-leading products. The Lighting Solutions line is a perfect fit for us. By combining these outstanding products with our roll-up doors, cargo trays, hose bed covers and LED compartment lighting, we are able to make a great company even better.”
