B.R. Kreider & Son Inc., an excavating, paving and site management company based in Manheim, recently announced the asset purchase of Andrews Excavating in Willow Street.

The new team members will operate out of one of B.R. Kreider's three locations in Manheim, Quarryville or Lebanon.

According to Brent Kreider, president of B.R. Kreider & Son, both companies have served clients for 90 years. He said that acquiring Andrews will enable the company to better serve clients in south central Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.

Andrews has been serving customers in south central and eastern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland since 1936. The company is led by Mark Rineer, who was a long time vice president that purchased the company from the Andrews family members in 2016 upon their retirement. As Rineer approached retirement, he felt that the two 90-year organizations would be a good fit for his team and to continue serving his clients.

The acquisition happened on Feb. 2. B.R. Kreider & Son will acquire a select list of equipment and a number of remaining projects.
