Trinity Industries Inc TRN has acquired Holden America, a manufacturer of multi-level vehicle securement and protection systems, gravity-outlet gates, and gate accessories for freight rail in North America.
The initial purchase price totals $70 million, with an additional minimum of $5 million per year for the next two years.

Trinity will retain all of the employees of Holden as part of the transaction.
