Powerhouse Acquires North Carolina Boiler Company, Corn Service
CSI had been owned and operated by Forward Ventures Inc.
GASTONIA, N.C. — Powerhouse Equipment and Engineering Co. Inc. announced it has acquired boiler service company, Corn Service Inc. (CSI), of Gastonia, North Carolina. Powerhouse said this acquisition will allow it to better service its rental boiler customers in the Mid-South, Southeast, and Gulf Coast regions of the United States.
CSI had been owned and operated by Forward Ventures Inc., which ran the company successfully for seven years after acquiring the business from its original owners in 2009. Powerhouse has a long history with CSI, mostly through a common partner, Energy Equipment Co. (EEC), which uses the Gastonia facility for storing and reconditioning its fleet of packaged boilers. Powerhouse said it will continue this relationship with EEC, which will give Powerhouse customers more purchase options.
