The acquisition expands NSA's product portfolio, enhances cross-selling opportunities, and reinforces their shared commitment to American manufacturing, safety, and quality craftsmanship.

“Warren Heim has built an outstanding reputation dedicated to product quality, world-class design and maker integrity,” said NSA CEO Chuck Grossman. “This partnership brings exciting momentum to the NSA platform with the opportunity to expand our portfolio for the electrical safety and utility end markets. We’re looking forward to rolling up our sleeves alongside the Warren Heim team for our next chapter of growth and expansion.”
The acquisition further strengthens NSA’s portfolio and product diversity, adding complementary lines that fit seamlessly within the company’s existing offerings. The company will have the ability to enhance its cross-selling opportunities through established distributor networks across all product categories.
“Joining the NSA family opens an exciting new chapter for Warren Heim," said Warren Heim corporation president Chuck Heim. "Our shared commitment to American manufacturing and worker safety makes this partnership a natural fit."
“Warren Heim is a strategic addition to NSA’s electrical safety products portfolio, adding to our deep history of acquisitions and successful business integrations,” said Blue Point partner Jon Pressnell. “This move further expands NSA’s U.S. manufacturing footprint to better serve the electrical utility and linemen markets.
