Navistar Buys Concrete Mixer Company

Navistar International Corp. said Monday that it has acquired Continental Manufacturing Co., a manufacturer of concrete mixer trucks.

Continental makes rear discharge concrete mixers and sells replacement parts for mixers, Navistar said in a statement.

Continental, Houston, will continue to operate independently, Navistar said. Navistar will also use some International Truck dealers to sell and service mixers and parts.

“This deal is another example of how Navistar is growing the business by leveraging what we have and what others have built,” Jack Allen, president of Navistar’s North American truck group, said in a statement.
