Extrusion machinery maker Entek Manufacturing has acquired its long-time business partner Adaptive Engineering & Fabrication (AEF) for an undisclosed amount.
Based in Placentia, Calif., AEF supplies material handling systems, specializing in difficult-to-handle and difficult-to-convey materials. “As a specialist in extrusion and downstream processing equipment, Entek has partnered with AEF on many projects, and Entek and AEF have worked together as customer and supplier for many years,” officials with Lebanon, Ore.-based Entek said in a statement. “Combining the companies was a natural next step in the relationship and an opportunity to provide a more streamlined platform for customers.”
