Arcosa Inc., Dallas, has completed the sale of its inland barge manufacturing business, Arcosa Marine Products Inc., Covington, La., to private equity firm Wynnchurch Capital LP for $450 million in cash.
Arcosa Marine Products manufactures inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, and marine hardware, with operations located along the U.S. inland river system. The business operates under the Arcosa Marine, Nabrico, and Wintech brands and builds, repairs, and paints inland barges, including dry cargo and tank barges, from six facilities across the inland waterways.
Arcosa said the divestiture is part of a broader strategy to simplify its portfolio and focus on its core infrastructure-related businesses, including construction materials and engineered structures. The company plans to use net after-tax proceeds from the sale to invest in those business segments and reduce outstanding debt.
Arcosa noted that its barge business generated $383 million in revenue and $68 million in adjusted segment EBITDA in 2025. The company also reported that the barge business entered the transaction with a strong backlog providing production visibility into 2026, supported by what it described as favorable market fundamentals and a continuing replacement cycle for inland barges.
Arcosa Marine will now operate as an independent, standalone platform under Wynnchurch ownership. Wynnchurch Capital, Rosemont, Ill., is a private equity firm focused on middle-market investments, including corporate carve-outs and growth capital investments.
Following the completion of the divestiture, Arcosa will no longer report results for the barge business within its Transportation Products segment, and the business will be reported as discontinued operations in the company’s financial reporting.
In a separate transaction completed in March, Arcosa also acquired a central Florida natural aggregates operation for $60 million, a move the company said strengthens its construction materials platform in the state.
Wells Fargo served as financial advisor to Arcosa on the barge transaction, with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP serving as legal advisor. Paul Hastings served as legal advisor to Wynnchurch Capital.
