Founded in 1999, Michigan-based Norkan specializes in equipment and supplies for commercial and industrial safety; lead, mold and asbestos abatement; property restoration; concrete restoration; and high-performance coatings and paint. Norkan has locations in Detroit and Phoenix areas.

Houston-based CRT services industrial cleaning equipment in the Houston area, primarily servicing industrial sweepers and scrubbers.

“The Norkan and CRT acquisitions will continue to build on our extensive knowledge and product selection within the restoration, concrete surface, and industrial cleaning supply markets, allowing us to continue to provide world-class service to contractors in a variety of industries,” Jon-Don CFO Matt Tharp said.

“We look forward to connecting our customers with Jon-Don’s expanded selection of products, support, and service,” Norkan owner and founder Rick Kangas echoed. “Similarly, Jon-Don’s customers will benefit from Norkan’s extensive product and job knowledge.”

“We are excited to join the Jon-Don team,” CRT owner and founder Tim Wells added. “We have been very impressed with the people and commitment to customers, and I’m looking forward to further building upon the solid reputation we’ve earned in this industry.”
