Asa Carlton, Inc. Announces New Ownership Structure, Positioning Company for Continued Growth

BRASELTON, GA, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Longtime principal and partner Scott Hester has completed the acquisition of Asa Carlton, Inc., marking a new chapter for the nationally respected construction firm while preserving the relationships, expertise, and operational excellence that have defined its legacy for more than two decades.

Subsequent to the acquisition, Hester further solidified the company’s leadership structure with longtime key manager and company President Nathan Artman acquiring an ownership interest in Asa Carlton. Artman has been with the company for 20 years and has played an integral role in its operations, growth, and client relationships.

The ownership transition reflects both continuity and a long-term commitment to the company’s future, with two deeply experienced leaders who have spent decades building Asa Carlton now invested in its next chapter. For Asa Carlton’s clients and partners, the transition provides continuity in leadership, relationships, and operational capabilities while creating an even stronger platform for continued growth.

“After nearly 24 years as a partner in this business, this acquisition brings clarity and momentum to where we go next,” said Hester. “Nathan has been an important part of Asa Carlton for 20 years. Bringing him into ownership recognizes the leadership he has already provided and strengthens the team that will carry this company forward. We have a tremendous foundation, and our focus now is to continue investing in our people, strengthening our client relationships, and building on the capabilities that have made Asa Carlton a trusted construction partner nationwide.”

Asa Carlton, Inc. has built a reputation as a trusted partner for multi-site construction and rollout projects for some of America’s most recognizable brands. The company provides comprehensive services including FF&E coordination and installation, physical rebranding and signage implementation, remodels, and ground-up construction, supporting clients across retail, quick-service restaurant (QSR), medical, office, and convenience sectors.

Operating in nearly all 50 states and Puerto Rico, Asa Carlton serves industries where consistency, speed, and precision are essential, and where successful execution must be repeatable across locations and markets.

Under Hester and Artman’s leadership, Asa Carlton’s core focus remains unchanged: delivering exceptional work while serving as a steady, knowledgeable partner to clients operating in complex, highly regulated, and fast-moving environments.

“After 20 years with Asa Carlton, I know what makes this company successful: our people, the relationships we’ve built, and our ability to consistently deliver for our clients,” said Artman. “I’m proud to take this next step with Scott and to have an ownership stake in a company I’ve spent much of my career helping build. We have a strong foundation and a tremendous opportunity ahead of us.”

The new ownership structure ensures continuity for clients while positioning Asa Carlton for thoughtful, strategic growth. Hester and Artman share an emphasis on long-term partnerships, operational precision, strong team development, and maintain a deep respect for the communities and industries the company serves.

Hester remains focused on strengthening Asa Carlton’s position within its core sectors while expanding relationships with clients who need a reliable partner capable of executing construction and rollout programs across multiple markets.

“We do critical work in sectors that people rely on every day,” Hester added. “That responsibility matters. Our job is to show up prepared, consistent, and accountable on every site, every time. As we move into this next chapter, those fundamentals won’t change. Our opportunity is to build on them.”

With its new ownership structure in place, Asa Carlton enters its next chapter with an experienced leadership team, a strong national platform, and a continued commitment to the people, relationships, and execution that have defined the company for more than two decades. The company remains focused on strengthening existing client partnerships while pursuing thoughtful growth across its core markets and capabilities.
