Selby’s Soil Erosion Control Makes $2 Million Acquisition
Selby’s Soil Erosion Control purchased Apex Curb & Turf LLC for approximately $2 million, according to the news release.
“We had hit our potential for the market in Northern California,” said Selby to the Business Journal. “This seemed like a good way to ramp-up our operations. We see a lot of business opportunity in the Pacific Northwest. It seems like everyone from California is moving up there.”
The combined company will be known as SSEC APEX Inc., and will be headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. All current offices of both companies will continue to serve their existing regions, adding new services in additional locations. The merged company currently has about 60 employees, but it's looking to add at least 10 new workers as it expands, according to the press release.
SSEC provides erosion control services for public and private projects, working with developers, government agencies and contractors.

Elgin Sweeper’s Shared Power technology, the EcoInfused platform, diverts the formerly wasted energy from the sweeper’s chassis engine back to the power of the sweeper itself, which helps reduce the carbon footprint during NASCAR Cup Series race weekends.
