Based in Fairburn, Georgia, Estex is a manufacturer and supplier of industrial sewn products including tool bags, personal protective equipment, and other products mainly serving the utility sector in addition to airline, government/military, and sports markets.
Acquisition of the company’s assets was completed in late 2024, with Shorehill making a formal announcement in late February.
“Shorehill is thrilled to partner with Mike Scott and the rest of the Estex Team,” said Robert Jackson, managing director at Shorehill Capital. “This partnership reflects our commitment to collaborating with management teams to achieve shared success. Together, we are enhancing manufacturing capacity, improving efficiency, and working to accelerate growth.”
Founded in 1900, Estex was established as a manufacturer of products for the horse and buggy market. Evolving with the times, the company entered the power utility industry in the 1940s by repurposing their feed bags as lineman tool buckets.
The company remains in the utility space selling a variety of safety products including but not limited to arc blankets, vests, and bags. In addition, Estex serves the airline market selling baggage cart curtains and accessories, loading bridge solutions, and ramp and safety products.
“We have built a legacy of trust, quality, and dedication to our employees and our customers,” said Mike Scott, Estex president. “This partnership with Shorehill marks an exciting new chapter for our company, providing the resources to drive growth and innovation while preserving the values that have defined our success. We look forward to the future with great enthusiasm and confidence in the opportunities ahead.”
