WEBBERVILLE, Mich. — Applegate Insulation, a manufacturer of hydromulch and erosion control products, announces the acquisition of the hydromulch business of Rodney, Ontario-based IECS.

The plant will operate as Applegate Canada, ULC and marks the first time the Webberville, Michigan-based manufacturer of eco-friendly erosion control products will have production capabilities inside of Canada.

“We’ve had customers in Canada for decades,” says Applegate CEO Terry Applegate. “Now we can serve a greater market more efficiently and with lower freight.” Applegate has customers in more than 20 countries and attributes its success to the exceptional performance of its products and support.
