SC&H Capital, a leading investment bank specializing in M&A advisory for middle-market companies, is pleased to announce that its client, Stone Mountain Access Systems, Inc. (“Stone Mountain” or “SMAS”) has been acquired by Action Equipment and Scaffold Company (“Action Scaffold”).
Founded in 1996 in Chicago by Scott and Jane Billish, Stone Mountain is a respected provider of scaffold and specialty access solutions with operations serving customers throughout the Midwest and Southeast. Stone Mountain has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, safety, and customer-focused execution, providing suspended and fixed access solutions.
Action Scaffold, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a provider of scaffold rental equipment, services, and access solutions with more than 70 years of operating history. The acquisition of Stone Mountain expands Action Scaffold’s geographic reach and enhances the combined organization’s equipment availability, operational expertise, and service capabilities across multiple markets.
“Our priority throughout this process has been finding the right long-term partner for our employees and customers,” said Scott Billish, Co-Founder of Stone Mountain Access Systems, Inc. “Action shares our commitment to people, safety, and customer service, making this a natural fit for both organizations.”
“Stone Mountain represents the best of the founder- and family-owned middle market: a differentiated service offering, a safety-first culture, long-standing customer relationships, and a team with deep technical expertise,” said Matt LoCascio, Principal at SC&H Capital. “We were proud to advise Scott, Jane, and the Stone Mountain team as they found a partner that shares their commitment to employees, customers, safety, and long-term growth.”
Stone Mountain will continue serving its established Midwest and Southeast customer base while benefiting from Action Scaffold’s added resources, scale, and operational support. Together, the companies are expected to create meaningful synergies through expanded resources, shared operational expertise, enhanced equipment availability, and broader service capabilities.
