Blue Point Capital Partners and its portfolio company, National Safety Apparel have acquired Gemtor, Inc., a Matawan, NJ-based manufacturer of high-performance fall protection, confined space retrieval and rescue equipment. This follows NSA’s acquisition of Bashlin Industries in July.

Founded in 1985 by Allen Neustater, and now led by Allen’s son Craig Neustater, Gemtor’s product portfolio includes full-body harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, anchor slings, escape belts and rescue systems.

“The Gemtor team exemplifies product excellence and reliability, which is a rare combination that has earned deep trust in the industry,” NSA CEO Chuck Grossman said in an Oct. 23 news release. “Following our July acquisition of Bashlin Industries, Gemtor represents another step forward in accelerating NSA’s momentum and expanding our reach and capabilities.”

NSA provides branded, high-performance personal protective equipment and safety solutions for workers across electrical, industrial and service sectors. Gemtor marks the fourth strategic add-on.

“NSA and Gemtor share a strong commitment to protecting front-line workers with premium safety solutions,” Gemtor Owner and President Craig Neustater added. “We’re proud to join forces and bring more than 100 years of combined industry experience to the NSA platform.”

“Gemtor’s addition reinforces NSA’s strategic priorities — expanding product diversity, manufacturing capabilities and distribution strength,” said Blue Point Partner Jonathan Pressnell. “This acquisition builds on NSA’s successful M&A integration track record, supported by Blue Point’s extensive experience in the manufacturing and safety sectors. We’re excited to continue adding value with hands-on operational support to drive both organic and acquisition-led growth.”
