The agreement provides for the transfer of the Dur-O-Wal business to Hohmann & Barnard effective April 23, 2010, and will result in the closure of Dayton Superior’s Aurora, Illinois, manufacturing facility. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Terms of the sale are not being disclosed.

"This more focused business model will provide better transparency into our concrete products operations and improved liquidity for expansion as we operationalize our strategic plan. We will continue manufacturing and distributing concrete accessories, formworks and chemicals, and we remain focused on providing outstanding product support and customer service."
