Hillman Completes $315 million Kanebridge Acquisition Funded by $200 million Term Loans

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Hillman Solutions Corp. completed its acquisition of Kanebridge, LLC, a master distributor of industrial fasteners, on August 28, 2026, for approximately $315 million before customary post-closing adjustments. The purchase was funded with cash on hand, a draw on the revolving credit facility and $200 million of new senior secured term loans maturing in 2033, which adds debt for shareholders to weigh against the expanded industrial distribution business.

Key points

  • Purchase price of approximately $315 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses
  • New $200 million senior secured term loans maturing July 22, 2033, priced at SOFR plus 2.00% or ABR plus 1.00%, with no financial maintenance covenants
  • Kanebridge supplies more than 44,000 fastener SKUs to distributors across the U.S. and Canada, and the company says the deal expands its industrial addressable market to about $3 billion
