In Butler, Pennsylvania, the building where Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed onto the roof and fired shots, injuring President Trump and several supporters, was sold just four months ago.
American Glass Research (AGR), a subsidiary of AGR International, was acquired by Indicor, a diversified industrial solutions company, in March 2024.
In an interview with ABC News on Monday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle revealed that local police were inside the AGR building when Crooks climbed onto the roof.
Cheatle also noted that no Secret Service agents were stationed on the roof of the AGR building because it has a “sloped roof,” and concerns about safety influenced the decision not to place agents there.
District Attorney Richard Goldinger of Butler County, Pennsylvania, told NBC News that he doesn’t think any employees were inside the AGR building at the time of the shooting.
Since the tragic shooting at Trump’s rally, neither AGR nor Indicor have not appeared to release any public statements regarding the shooting.
Press release from AGR International from March 20, 2024:
Agr was recently acquired by Indicor, a diversified industrial solutions company. As a world-class, innovative supplier of quality assurance and process automation equipment to the global packaging markets, Agr fits nicely into the values and focus of Indicor.
Agr’s operations, headquartered in Butler, PA, USA, will remain unchanged and they will continue to provide the industry-known laboratory, online, and automated process control systems and services that support glass and plastic packaging manufacturers and brand owners worldwide, as they have for nearly one hundred years.
In 2022, Indicor announced its formation and brand name.
According to PR News Wire, “The formation of Indicor follows the November 2022 sale of a majority stake in a portfolio of industrial businesses from Roper Technologies, Inc. to funds affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (“CD&R”).”
The current CEO of Indicor is Doug Wright, who was previously deployed with defense contractor Raytheon Technologies.
