CHICAGO, IL – Brook Park Holdings, LLC, (“BPH”), a U.S.-based private equity firm announced today that it had sold Crowd Control Warehouse (“CCW”) to Brimar Industries, a Blue Point Capital Partners portfolio company.

Brimar Industries is a vertically integrated provider of safety signs, pipe markers, valve tags, and parking and traffic signs.

“CCW has established itself as a true innovator and digital disruptor in the crowd control and safety barrier sector. This investment serves as an excellent first step in the M&A expansion strategy we have planned for Brimar as a leading safety products platform,” said Blue Point Principal Rick Soukup. “In addition to M&A, the Blue Point team looks forward to leveraging our Data & Digital and Supply Chain teams to help expand the business.”

“Blue Point and Brimar’s combined value-add capabilities made our choice extremely simple,” said Mark Palchak. “We look forward to building on our strategic growth initiatives and expanding CCW’s e-commerce platform with the additional support, resources and expertise of the Blue Point and Brimar teams.”
