Generac acquires MAC heaters

Deal adds flameless, indirect-fired and hydronic surface heaters to Generac lineup.


Generac has required MAC, a manufacturer of commercial and industrial mobile heaters within the U.S. and Canada. MAC primarily serves the oil-and-gas and construction markets through national equipment rental companies and independent dealers.

Established in 1983 and headquartered in Bismarck, ND with approximately 100 employees, MAC offers a line of flameless, indirect-fired and hydronic surface heaters. 

“The acquisition of MAC is an exciting development for Generac as it further expands our growing mobile products platform by adding a strong brand of industrial heaters and increases our access to the projected long term up-cycle in the oil & gas market,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to gaining immediate access to a broad lineup of mobile heating equipment that is essential to colder climate oil & gas and construction sites, this acquisition creates cross-selling opportunities with our existing mobile products distribution.”

“We’ve worked hard to build MAC into a great company and we believe that partnering with Generac best positions our organization for continued growth,” said Michael Seifert, President and CEO of MAC, Inc. “We are excited to be joining the Generac team and we see many synergies for both companies as a result of this transaction.”

The MAC management team will continue to lead the company and the MAC product brand will be retained and will join Generac's family of brands. The purchase agreements were executed and the transaction simultaneously closed on October 1, 2014. The purchase price and terms of the transaction were not announced.
