Marketplace One(sm) announces Merger and Equity Investment in Outhouse, LLC with Aterra Lighting & Controls, LLC

 

PHOENIX, Ariz.

 

Marketplace One is pleased to announced the merger of Outhouse, LLC and Aterra Lighting & Controls, LLC with a follow-on equity investment into the combined companies. Outhouse, LLC (Outhouse) is a leading provider of integrated solutions such as CAD, Rendering, Design, Graphics and Publishing to a myriad of industries in the region.  Aterra Lighting & Controls, LLC (Aterra) provides revenue enhancing solutions to the custom and production homebuilding community.

 

“Outhouse was built on the idea of providing a one-stop source for a host of mission critical operations for the homebuilding industry.  This combination allows us to expand our value proposition by helping our customers convert back-office operations into top-line results.  I am excited to be working with the Aterra team.” says Bill Gelbaugh, CEO of Outhouse.

 

“Aterra has long enjoyed playing the role of innovator in revenue-enhancing solutions to the commercial marketplace.  The merger with Outhouse is the next logical step to ensuring our customers enjoy the benefits of leveraging best practices, technology and market savvy in their business operations.” says Paul Salmonson, CEO of Aterra.

 

Bret Edson, Chairman of Marketplace One, says “We are constantly looking to unearth partnership opportunities that bring a distinct and compelling offering to industries with strong long-term prospects.  Aterra’s proven track-record in improving our customers’ revenue through solutions like Aterra Designs ™ combined with Outhouse’s ability to serve the building industry with the building information modeling (BIM) paradigm was a logical fit.  Paul and Bill bring entrepreneurial experience to this business opportunity; we look forward to exciting results with this merger.”

 

Marketplace One (sm) seeks to produce significant return on investment through the profitable integration of business, leadership and philanthropy.
