SAVARIA ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF BAXTER RESIDENTIAL ELEVATORS
Savaria Corp. has completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Baxter Residential Elevators LLC (BRE), a leading dealer and installer of home elevators and lifts based in Frisco, Tex.
Founded in 2004, BRE has been a long-time Savaria dealer serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and generated approximately $4-million (U.S.) ($5.5-million (Canadian)) in revenue in 2025. The company has established strong relationships with homebuilders throughout north Texas, particularly in the luxury residential segment, where demand for home elevators continues to grow. These relationships are supported by BRE's delivery of high-quality installation services across a wide range of custom projects.
The Dallas metropolitan area represents a strategically important market for Savaria, as Texas is among the fastest-growing states in the United States with significant residential and commercial construction activity under way. This transaction provides Savaria with a direct presence in this high-growth market and strengthens its ability to serve customers and partners in the region.
Richard D. (R.D.) Baxter, the founder and owner of BRE, will continue to lead the business as a division of Savaria, ensuring continuity for customers and employees.
"Building this company has been one of the great privileges of my career and I'm incredibly proud of what our team has achieved. Joining Savaria marks an exciting new chapter, one where we can grow faster and serve our customers even better. Savaria has always treated us like true partners and I'm confident that together we're positioned for long-term success," said Mr. Baxter.
"We are proud to welcome R.D. and his team to the Savaria family. This partnership represents an exciting opportunity, and we look forward to strengthening our presence and growing our home elevator market share in Texas," said Alexandre Bourassa, president, accessibility, North America.
