Gallagher Industries

In 1986, Profile Products was an often overlooked division of the Industry Group of International Minerals and Chemicals, Corp. Acquired as part of the AIMCOR transaction, Profile Products was later carved out as a stand-alone platform. The Gallagher team added seasoned leadership and partnered with management to develop branded, value-added products and grow the business through strategic acquisitions that enhanced their offering. By 2000, the company was marketing, manufacturing and distributing the green industry’s best-selling inorganic soil amendment and the broadest line of hydraulic mulch products used for erosion control and seed establishment. With three strategic acquisitions, Profile integrated the leading providers of paper-based and wood-based hydraulic mulches into its business and added production facilities in Tennessee and North Carolina.

Profile Products began as a small provider of oil and grease absorbents. Today, building upon the footprint of three manufacturing facilities and long-term clay mine reserves, the com-pany’s revenues have grown four-fold. Profile Products are used in national Departments of Transportation and Depart-ments of Parks and Recreation, more than 3,000 golf courses, and 75 percent of Major League Baseball parks.

A 19-year investment, Profile Products remains a platform in the Gallagher Industries portfolio of holdings.
