CC Industries acquires Weiler
CC Industries (CCI), the parent company of meat processing equipment manufacturer Formax Inc., announced on Tuesday (July 1, 2009) that it had acquired Wisconsin-based Weiler and Co., a manufacturer of grinding, mixing and bone separation equipment.
The acquisition will add the Weiler and Beehive brands to Formax's line of protein forming and high-speed slicing equipment.
It is CCI's intention to meld the best qualities of both organisations into a newly combined company, according to Bill Crown, president and CEO of CCI.
Formax and Weiler share a similar customer base and their respective equipment operations on many of the same production lines.
