Horizon North Logistics Inc. Announces Successful Purchase of Alberta-Based Custom Manufacturing Business and New Executive Appointment

Horizon North Logistics Inc.

CALGARY, Nov. 1, 2018 /CNW/ - Horizon North Logistics Inc. ("Horizon North" or the "Corporation") (TSX: HNL.TO) announced today that the Corporation has successfully closed a purchase of the custom manufacturing business (the "Business") of C&V Portable Accommodations Ltd. ("C&V") and appointed Luke Harrison as Vice President, Business Development, Modular Solutions.

Purchase of Assets of C&V Custom Modular Manufacturing

Today, Horizon North acquired the assets comprising the custom modular manufacturing division of C&V. The $4.0 million all-cash total purchase price includes an existing leasehold on 86,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Rocky View County, Alberta, as well as employees, equipment, working capital, and certain intangible assets (the "Purchased Assets"). Specifically excluded from the Purchased Assets were C&V's existing 330 wellsite rental units and assets related to the rental business, as well as the brand name of C&V.

The manufacturing facility and the assets will be used to increase capacity for the Corporation's Modular Solutions division and to gain access to desirable markets. "The purchase of this Alberta-based business is an ideal fit for the growth strategy of Horizon North's Modular Solutions division, with a facility well-equipped to produce a high volume of commercial product, a skilled workforce already in place, and a strong baseline of existing business," says Rod Graham, President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon North. "With a strategic location just east of Calgary, the addition of this facility will allow us to leverage reduced transportation costs to expose ourselves to modular construction opportunities in Alberta and Saskatchewan."

"The solutions we are providing from our manufacturing facilities in Kamloops and Aldergrove, British Columbia have been at the center of the growth of Horizon North Modular Solutions to date," adds Joseph Kiss, President, Modular Solutions for Horizon North. "With this purchase, we are taking the next step in our vision for pan-Canadian growth, bringing east our diverse offerings which include multi-family condominiums and apartments, hotels, student and senior housing, permanent and temporary affordable housing, commercial infrastructure, and Karoleena residential homes. The Calgary market is business-friendly with a diverse labour pool, including a strong workforce of men and women in skilled trades – an excellent fit for Horizon North."

Executive Appointment

In concert with the expansion of the Modular Solutions business, and further to the recent appointments of Howard Phillips as Vice President, Projects and Sloan Challand as Vice President, Sales, we are pleased to announce the completion of our Modular Solutions executive team with the appointment of Luke Harrison as Vice President, Business Development.

In his role, Luke will be responsible for growing the Modular Solutions portfolio with innovative developmental approaches specifically focused on government and not-for-profit social housing, including First Nations, senior, student and affordable housing initiatives. Luke comes to Horizon North from the role of Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency (VAHA), where he led the organization's significant progress on delivering affordable housing options to the people of Vancouver. He leaves VAHA with a large portfolio of housing units either complete or in various stages of development, including more than 600 temporary modular units.

Prior to his executive role, Luke also served as Senior Planner for VAHA and in several real estate development roles for businesses in the Greater Vancouver area. Luke holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, Strategy and Economics from the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

"From the National Housing Strategy to the funding commitments of the Government of British Columbia and BC Housing, the attention being paid to social housing in Canada is significant," says Rod Graham. "Adding Luke and his unique skills will quickly grow our strength in this important sector, one which we believe is an ideal fit for the substantially reduced construction timeframes of modular builds. His experience will be critical in helping Horizon North export our successful modular housing efforts in British Columbia to new markets where our made-in-Canada solution can assist governments and not-for-profit organizations who are taking on the endemic national issue of delivering homes for all Canadians."
