In June, the FAYAT Group signed a definitive agreement to acquire LeeBoy, an established brand in the roadbuilding equipment sector. This acquisition represents a strategic move for FAYAT Group as part of its ongoing commitment to expand in the U.S. and Canada.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including HSR clearance, with closing anticipated by Q4 2025. Until the transaction closes, both FAYAT Group and LeeBoy will continue to operate separately and independently.

Strengthening market position

LeeBoy's broad portfolio of roadbuilding equipment, including asphalt pavers and distributors, compact motor graders, and road maintenance equipment, makes it a highly complementary addition to FAYAT Group's global network. The acquisition will offer contractors an even broader range of solutions, combining the strengths of FAYAT Group companies. FAYAT Group sees significant opportunities to collaborate in areas such as research and development, manufacturing, purchasing, and sales, fostering enhanced capabilities and innovative solutions in the long run.

Commitment to LeeBoy's team and brand

FAYAT Group respects the expertise of LeeBoy's team, and, as part of the acquisition, intends to keep the company operating autonomously, under the continued leadership of its current management team. The LeeBoy brand will be preserved, as it has earned customer trust over many years, and FAYAT Group plans to maintain its identity. FAYAT Group's goal is to invest in people and resources to support LeeBoy's continued success.

What this means for contractors

LeeBoy contractors can expect continuity in terms of products, service, and support. After the transaction closes, buyers stand to benefit from an expanded range of capabilities, enhanced support, and potential innovations that will arise from the combined strengths of the FAYAT Group's Road Equipment Division companies.

Transaction timing and regulatory approval

The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to conclude by Q4 2025.
