By Bonsal American, Inc.

Charlotte, N.C.-based Bonsal American Inc. acquired Amerimix Industries Inc., a manufacturer of bagged and bulk mortar and stucco mixes for commercial contractors and distributors in St. Petersburg, Fla. Amerimix is a major supplier to Home Depot with bagged mortars, stuccos, portland and masonry cements.

"Amerimix is an excellent strategic fit with Bonsal American's existing operations in Florida and will enhance Bonsal American's position with Home Depot in the state," says David Maske, president of Bonsal American, one of the largest producers of packaged building material products in the United States, including cement mixes, concrete repair and restoration products and tile setting products.

Amerimix will continue to operate as a separate entity under Bonsal American. Jorge G. Chiappo, president of Amerimix, will remain with Bonsal American after closing and will continue in his current role.
