Allredi Signs Partnership with GMA Garnet Group to Expand its Distribution Network

Houston, TX, June 9, 2025 – Allredi, a North American distributor of surface preparation, abrasives, and safety products to industrial contractors, announced today that it entered into a partnership with GMA Garnet Group ("GMA") providing Allredi with access to GMA’s extensive abrasive product line across its supply chain throughout the U.S. and Canada. Allredi is backed by Capstreet, a Houston-based lower middle market private equity firm, and Ridgemont Equity Partners, a middle market private equity firm based in Charlotte, NC.

Allredi supplies garnet abrasives to end users for the maintenance, cleaning and repair of large steel structures in the industrial, infrastructure, and downstream energy sectors. Australia-based GMA provides garnet abrasives for use in blasting steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass, with operations in North America, Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East. 

"GMA produces a quality, high performance garnet abrasive, and we are excited to partner with them to better serve our customers," said Allredi CEO Kevin Bourbonnais. "Our agreement with GMA provides Allredi with new access to a large, consistent volume of quality garnet processed in the U.S. With GMA’s processing facilities in Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, we believe we can effectively serve customers throughout the U.S. and Canada, expanding beyond our previous Gulf-centric approach to garnet distribution."

GMA manages the end-to-end supply chain, from sourcing to processing to international distribution, and recycling. With a long history of sustainable mining, GMA is focused on energy-efficient processing and reductions in landfill.

"We’re excited about this partnership with Allredi, which gives us geographic access through a single partner that we didn’t have before," said Scot Cummins, Regional Sales Director at GMA Americas. "In particular, this will offer us an opportunity to increase our presence across Canada."
