Hillman Solutions Corp. announced the acquisition of Campbell Chain & Fittings from Apex Tool Group on April 6 2026. The deal adds U.S. manufacturing facilities in York, Pennsylvania, and Sumter, South Carolina, and expands Hillman’s product portfolio to include grade 70, 80, and 100 chain, welded and weldless chain, forged fittings, and lifting products.
Campbell Chain & Fittings, founded in 1919, has long been a respected supplier of chain and related products. The acquisition builds on Hillman’s 2024 entry into the chain category through its purchase of Koch Industries and positions the company to serve commercial and industrial customers more comprehensively.
Hillman expects the new business to generate over $20 million in net sales in fiscal 2026. The addition of U.S. manufacturing capabilities strengthens Hillman’s industrial MRO footprint and supports its target of $2.5 billion in net sales by 2030.
Hillman reported record net sales of $1.552 billion in fiscal 2025, a 5.4 % year‑over‑year increase, and adjusted EBITDA of $275.3 million, up 13.9 %. For fiscal 2026, the company has guided for net sales between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, a modest lift that reflects the incremental contribution from Campbell.
President and CEO Jon Michael Adinolfi said, “With over 105 years in the business, Campbell is a well‑respected manufacturer and supplier of chain and related products with a diverse set of customers that will make a great addition to Hillman.” Executive Vice President of Commercial & Industrial Chris Martin added, “The acquisition of Campbell expands our presence in the industrial MRO channel, considering commercial and industrial customers make up the majority of Campbell’s business. Further, this deal complements our 2024 acquisition of Koch Industries, which marked Hillman’s entrance into the chain category.”
The transaction terms were not disclosed, and Hillman has not yet outlined a detailed integration plan. However, the strategic rationale is clear: the acquisition adds depth to Hillman’s chain product line, enhances domestic manufacturing capacity, and accelerates the company’s growth trajectory in the industrial hardware market.
