Third Bench to Acquire Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry

New America Energy Corp., and its operating subsidiary, Third Bench Holdings, LLC (“Third Bench” or the “Company”), are pleased to report that the Company has entered into a Binding Letter of Intent to acquire Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry, LLC (“Rasmussen”). Rasmussen manufactures, distributes, and installs residential cabinets north of Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Company is excited to add Rasmussen to its mix of companies. The Utah market is very strong, and Rasmussen is ideally positioned to continue to ramp up sales in Utah.

In addition, Rasmussen has the capacity to manufacture residential cabinets to be shipped to the Company’s Davis Kitchens locations in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Tucson, Arizona, as well as the Company’s Las Cruces Cabinets location in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

This acquisition will be immediately accretive to the Company’s earnings. David Fair, the Company’s CEO stated, “We are very excited about the vertical integration opportunities for all of our operations through the acquisition of Rasmussen. Having our own captive residential cabinetry brand really differentiates us from our competition. We can also have better control over lead times, design approaches, colors, and styles.”

Rasmussen is on a run rate to have revenue of over $10 million in 2022. Combined with the current Third Bench operations, Rasmussen should be in a position to almost double that output by manufacturing cabinets for Third Bench’s subsidiaries.

In addition, Rasmussen’s Founder Colton Rasmussen, and Rasmussen’s CFO Joshua Riedesel will continue to manage and operate Rasmussen under Third Bench.

Mr. Fair continued, “We have been extremely impressed by Colton and Josh. Their accomplishments in building Rasmussen into what it is today are tremendous. We are very happy to have them as an integral part of our management team. Their energy and commitment to excellence is outstanding and inspiring.” David goes on to say “There will be tremendous synergistic value with this acquisition by selling their cabinets at our residential operations throughout the Southwest.”
