The Brock Group, a leading provider of specialty industrial services, today announced the acquisition of a premier scaffolding business with five locations across major Florida metropolitan markets: Fort Myers, Orlando, Pompano Beach, Tampa, and Jacksonville. The transaction adds more than 130 skilled employees and nearly $70 million in fleet and assets in the state, significantly strengthening Brock’s position across the Southeast.

This strategic expansion reinforces Brock’s continued investment in the light industrial and commercial markets, while enhancing its ability to deliver safe, high-quality scaffolding solutions to a broader and more diverse customer base throughout the region. The addition of experienced teams and established local operations expands Brock’s capacity, responsiveness, and technical capabilities across key end markets.

“This is an exciting step forward in our growth strategy,” said Frank Bardonaro, CEO of The Brock Group. “We are not only expanding our footprint in a critical market, but we are also welcoming an experienced and highly respected team that shares our commitment to safety, performance, and customer service.”

Brock would not divulge what company it acquired the locations from. “We acquired the business from one of the largest equipment rental platforms globally,” a company spokesperson told RER. “For them, it was a relatively small, non-core part of their portfolio. For Brock, it is directly aligned with our core scaffolding and industrial services strategy, which gives us a strong opportunity to invest in it, grow it, and fully integrate it into our platform.”

Retaining the leadership team
As part of the transaction, Brock will retain 100 percent of the leadership team, along with all sales, field, and operational personnel, ensuring continuity for all employees and customers alike. Day-to-day operations will continue without disruption, the company said, and customer relationships and service commitments remain unchanged. The integration is designed to preserve the strengths of the existing organization while providing immediate access to Brock’s extensive resources.

With the addition of Brock’s national fleet, engineering capabilities, staffing infrastructure, and labor force, the Florida-based team will be uniquely positioned to scale operations and deliver enhanced value to customers, the company said. Leadership oversight for the expanded Southeast scaffolding operations has been aligned under Shawn Mills, president, Brock Services – Southeast, who will oversee Brock Group Asset operations and the newly integrated locations.

“Our focus is simple—set this team up to thrive,” Bardonaro added. “By combining their strong local presence with Brock’s scale, resources, and expertise, we will support our customers at unprecedented levels while creating meaningful opportunities for our people.”

The expanded platform positions Brock to:
• Accelerate growth across the Southeast U.S.
• Enhance service delivery in fast-growing end markets.
• Increase capacity, responsiveness, and technical expertise.
• Create long-term career opportunities for employees across all levels.

Brock officials said the acquisition reflects Brock’s ongoing commitment to strategic growth, operational excellence, and investing in people, while continuing to build one of the most capable and comprehensive scaffolding and industrial services platforms in North America.
