Perris-based modular building maker sold, renamed in bankruptcy
The modular building manufacturer Silver Creek Industries in Perris was acquired June 6 in bankruptcy and renamed Silver Creek Modular by its new owner.
Ontario-based Webb Investments, a privately-held firm, was the buyer.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the company said in a statement that Silver Creek Industries’ 220 employees, its executives and the manufacturing facility in Perris will all remain with the new company.
Webb Investments said it is providing “investment capital, resources and expertise to enhance Silver Creek’s presence in the modular construction marketplace.”
The 19-year-old Silver Creek Industries, which most recently has focused on the modular construction of school buildings, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the Central Bankruptcy Court of California.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Silver Creek into our family business, and look forward to building on our shared commitment to improving educational opportunities within communities across our region,” Kiana Webb, CEO of Webb Family Enterprises, said in a statement. “This acquisition aligns with our strategy to invest in established firms that can help us drive community revitalization and inclusive growth while improving quality of life and increasing economic output.”
Silver Creek Industries two years ago built the modular units that would become a two-story classroom building at Muir Fundamental Elementary in Santa Ana.
The company says modular construction, done in a warehouse setting and then shipped to the property for installation, can save 30% in costs compared with traditional stick-built construction. Time to completion is also reduced. For example, a traditional construction project could be on site for a year but with modular construction, the timeline shortens to as little as four months.
