BMS CAT Expands Its Reach by Acquiring Legacy Services Corp

In a bold strategic move, BMS CAT, a prominent name in the disaster recovery and restoration sector, has successfully acquired Legacy Services Corp, a key player in Minnesota's restoration and environmental cleaning marketplace. This acquisition, announced on December 12, 2024, is a significant step towards enhancing BMS CAT's service offerings and geographical presence, particularly in the Upper Midwest region of the United States.

The merging of these two entities marks a vital development not only for BMS CAT but also for the clients served by Legacy Services, which has been a trusted provider of restoration solutions since its inception in 2005. Legacy Services, based in Minneapolis, has built a reputation for delivering high-quality services essential to both commercial and residential customers during critical moments of need. Their expertise extends across various areas, including water damage restoration, fire and smoke recovery, and environmental cleaning services such as HVAC air duct maintenance.

Jim Cashman, CEO of BMS CAT, expressed enthusiasm about this acquisition, commenting on the exceptional standard that Legacy Services has set within the industry. “We are thrilled to welcome Legacy Services, Corp. to our BMS CAT family. This remarkable company has set a high standard with their innovative service offerings,” said Cashman. He emphasized his admiration for the dedication of Legacy's founders and their commitment to excellence, which aligns perfectly with BMS CAT's values.

Co-Founder of Legacy Services, Mike Adair, shared his excitement about the integration into a larger organization. “Having the strength and support of the BMS CAT team allows us to confidently provide our clients with the highest quality services in the industry,” said Adair. His partner, Paul Chicras, also voiced a similar sentiment, looking forward to the growth opportunities that this partnership will offer.

This acquisition is more than just a growth tactic; it reflects BMS CAT’s ongoing mission to enhance its disaster recovery solutions to meet the increasing demands of its customer base. The acquisition of Legacy Services aligns with BMS CAT's strategic plan, marking the twelfth successful acquisition the company has made over the last four years. Previous undertakings have included notable companies like Diamond Restoration in North Carolina and Stratton Restoration in Arizona, showcasing BMS CAT's ambitious approach toward expansion.

BMS CAT’s journey began back in 1948 when it started as a furniture and dye shop, eventually expanding into various service areas from fire and water restoration to storm damage recovery. The organization's core values of reliability and superior customer service have allowed it to resonate well with clients. The incorporation of Legacy Services is expected to fortify BMS CAT's operations further and ensure they continue to uphold their founding principles while navigating the complexities of disaster recovery in today's landscape.

As the restoration industry evolves, so does BMS CAT. The company’s commitment to excellence and growth reflects its understanding of the critical role they play in communities that suffer from disasters. With Legacy Services now on board, BMS CAT is poised to provide even more comprehensive disaster recovery solutions, reinforcing their position as a leader in the industry. Customers can look forward to enhanced service offerings and continuous support that upholds the heritage of trust and quality that both BMS CAT and Legacy Services represent.

In conclusion, the acquisition of Legacy Services Corp is not just a merger of businesses, but a partnership aimed at delivering unparalleled restoration and environmental cleaning services to a broader audience while maintaining the integrity and quality that clients expect. As BMS CAT continues to grow and adapt within the restoration sector, customers can remain assured that their needs will be met with the utmost care and professionalism.
