Tulsa, Okla. – The Crosby Group, the global leader in lifting, rigging, and material handling hardware, has completed the acquisition of Feubo, a global leader in offshore mooring components for the oil and gas and wind energy markets. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
As we approach the end of the year, we'd like to take a look back at the top Crosby Group stories of 2019—a year of growth and innovation.
