The FAYAT Group has signed a deal with ST Engineering to acquire LeeBoy, a US-based company that designs and manufactures road construction machinery.

LeeBoy offers a wide range of asphalt pavers and other road repair equipment, as well as compact graders. The deal is significant for the FAYAT Group, a further sign of its growing presence in the US road construction segment. The FAYAT Group previously bought asphalt plant firm ADM.

LeeBoy is headquartered in Lincolnton, North Carolina, to the north of Charlotte. The deal will further strengthen the FAYAT Group's presence in the US road machinery market as LeeBoy has a considerable stake in this segment.

The completion of the transaction remains subject to certain conditions, including customary regulatory approvals in the United States. The FAYAT Group says that it expects to obtain these approvals and finalise the acquisition of LeeBoy during the fourth quarter of 2025.
